Managing the Digital Flow
We're going to go ahead and turn a question that Amal had into a task. In an email to the group he wrote:
I'm interested in discussing with everyone ideas for setting up a gradebook around YV assignments. With kids writing more than a teacher can read, how do you do your grades? What do your rubrics look like, if they exist? What values do you place on certain assignments, and elements of writing within them? If you don't grade everything, how do you choose?
These were such good questions that we thought we should make this conversation public instead of taking place among ourselves. In my pre-Internet classroom, I used to think about managing the paper load. But in digital writing, it's more about managing the digital flow. How do you do it in your teaching?
