Publisher Reflection

What? How will you use Publisher in your future teaching?

I will use Publisher for authentic assessment projects. They will produce a product that helps them rehearse, apply and analyze the content.

So What? Why? What are the benefits?

Students will benefit from differentiation. A publisher assignment allows for visual expression, authentic application of the knowledge and analysis of the subject in order to condense it to a concise, comprehensible format.
Authentic assessments allow the students to imagine using the knowledge outside of paper and pencil tests. They can tailor the content to their personal expression.

Now What? What do you need to learn/do to prepare to implement your ideas?

I should practice using a greater variety of the tools. I should look at my specific curriculum and complete several different projects. Then I can choose which ideas work the best and assign those to the students. In that way I will not only have example to show them but also the experience from which to guide them through the process.
