Tried interviewing students with their completed outcome in front of them. By asking pertinent questions students become very animated about how they authentically worked through their technological practice. Now need to master video software to capture this rich evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
We do a lot of contextual research, submitted electronically as slideshows, reports etc. Conceptually, a video could be submitted. The only caveat is to make sure that all of the requirements for the standard is met

# data[].attributes.body
Students create Google Maps to present cultural information, language points etc. For example, an Olympic Google Map in Japanese which details where athletes stay, how to get to an event stadium, and what tourist attractions are recommended.

I have used Microsoft Office onenote with students sharing their designs for me to give feedback and share links/resources digitally

Using this software I was able to record my screen as I used photo-shop to replicate or emulate artist model techniques. Students could then watch the video while completing the task themselves and can pause this when they need more time. This worked well but most students are now using youtube tutorials for photo-shop as this means they can all choose the techniques they want to learn rather than having me dictate this. There are a wealth of turorials available

In preparing for written assessment in Science Yr 10 Electricity. The use of a collaborative page where each group posted photographs and data of experiments and then explained the science idea behind the observed results in groups. Each person contributing to the written document. This was used to develop writing skills and also enable students to develop their own understanding of the concepts involved. This could then be used as partial evidence of learning

Technology
Students are working in teams to build a robot for a competition. Each member of the team writes the team blog explaining what issues the team has had, how they have overcome those issues. Improves literacy and allows me to see how the team are performing.

We have been using Forensic science as a context for a project to demonstrate the ability to carry out scientific experiments and present their evidence. The students had to evaluate and justify their actions and conclusions.

# data[].attributes.body
I use this tool to have students share their learning, example languages giving directions as they take them. I get them to download their their story and share this evidence with me.

I have beenusing tedtalks to teach academic vocabulary, writing and presentation skills. I put up a specific Tedtalks on the Moodle and create a froum and students need to do some cricitical thinking and acedemic discussions on the forum.  Sometimes, they add more Tedtalks on similar topics to argue their points.

This is a great tool that allows you to edit film clips with questions, voice overs and diagrams. There is a library of film clips or you can import your own. Great for students who have been absent, homework or 'flipping' the classroom. There is also an option for students to create their own video projects as revision resources for themselves or others.

This past week I trialed a portfolio-style assessment with my Level 1 Science students for electricity. I had previously shown them the electrical circuit simulator on pHET and several students used it to create different circuits which they included as evidence of understanding in their portfolios.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, ideal and non-Ohmic light bulbs, fuses, and switches. Determine if everyday objects are conductors or insulators, and take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a lifelike view.

Many students use google docs or slides to complete their assessments.
I have had some students use google sites too and this allows them to show more creativity.

To get students away from the essay style response from my biology L3 students I give them a scenario that they are presenting on a topic to an audience. They can use any presentation  software (powerpoint, prezi, slides, video etc.). The idea is that they have to be a little more concise. It also means that they are not waffling on as they could be asked to present the presentation to the class. Of course, this also means that they could deliver the presentation (with diagrams on the powerpoint). I could then video or tape record the audio. We have had one student choose the latter (and did extremely well).

I have used ubersense which is now hudl for skill analysis.  It's great for slowing down the movement and taking screen shots in the right place.

Had used Zaption in the past to use video content that students could watch in their own time and engage with embedded activities. Doesn't exist now and I haven't tried any of the similar options...yet.

At the end of June Zaption announced that they had been acquired by another company and would be shutting down at the end of September. That announcement prompted many people to start looking for alternatives to Zaption. These are the tools that I am recommending at this time.

EDPuzzle is a neat tool that allows you to add your voice and text questions to educational videos. On EDpuzzle you can search for educational videos and or upload your own videos to use as the basis of your lesson. EDpuzzle has an online classroom component that you can use to assign videos to students and track their progress through your video lessons. Within EDPuzzle's editor you can select portions of videos for students to watch. EDPuzzle offers the option to share your videos to Google Classroom. In the videos embedded below I demonstrate how to use the main features of EDPuzzle.

Blendspace makes it easy for teachers to organize and share educational materials in a visually pleasing format. On Blendspace you arrange videos, links, images, and files around any topic of your choosing. Blendspace has built-in search tools so that you do not have to leave your Blendspace account in order to locate resources. When you share a set of Blendspace materials with your students they can give you feedback to show that they understand the materials or they can ask questions about the materials. You can also see if your students actually looked at all of the materials that you have shared with them. Using Blendspace can be a good way to create and deliver flipped lessons.

Teachem is a service that uses the TED Ed model of creating lessons based on video. On Teachem teachers can build courses that are composed of a series of videos hosted on YouTube. Teachers can write questions and comments in "flashcards" that are tied to specific parts of each video and display next to each video. Students can take notes while watching the videos using the Teachem SmartNote system. Creating a Teachem course a straight-forward process of choosing a video URL then writing corresponding questions. When you create a Teachem course you can make it public or private. Public courses can be accessed by anyone that has address for your course. Teachem contains an option to collaborate with colleagues on the creation of courses.

VideoNotes is a neat tool for taking notes while watching videos. VideoNotes allows you to load any YouTube video on the left side of your screen and on the right side of the screen VideoNotes gives you a notepad to type on. VideoNotes integrates with your Google Drive account. By integrating with Google Drive VideoNotes allows you to share your notes and collaborate on your notes just as you can do with a Google Document. You can use VideoNotes to have students submit questions to you and each other while watching videos. Of course, you can insert questions into the conversation for your students to answer too.

I have previously worked with classes to identify what makes a good academic poster, using examples of informative scientific posters from a range of providers. Students must identify what is good and bad about each one to develop understanding of the poster as a method of displaying Scientific discoveries. As it is a very common method used in academia, our students only need training to produce high quality posters.

Google Docs - I use collaborative Google Docs all the time, for note-taking, sharing work, creating resources. It enables students to work much more efficiently and I particularly find it effective for giving feedback using the Suggesting mode.

Edpuzzle is a great tool to incorporate questioning and analysis as students watch youtube/video clips. The student must respond in order to progress and you can include different types of questions: multichoice, short/long answer etc to differentiate understanding. You can access results as staff.

I have set a task where students must cc me into an email to our local MP on an issue, or a portfolio minister. This is a great way to get them to justify their opinion on an issue - I have also shared these with their English teacher as it can be used as a text for formal writing.

Google meet in conjunction with a shared jamboard, presentation, word doc, spreadsheet ...  enables students to present thinking visually while speaking to it verbally.  I get to know how my students are approaching learning - for example when solving a maths equation, on on screen I can see their physical response (muttering numbers, using fingers), on another I can see workings as well as being able to hear them work through the problem.

I'm going to develop an assessment for Legal Studies where student present the information they'd ordinarily present as a boring old essay, as a website... I'm hoping I can work in with Media Studies so that students are meeting the criteria for AS90994 as well and thus getting rewarded for their efforts.
Has anyone been down this road already and can comment?

I've used some whiteboards to allow students to build their evidence at level 3 (Trig, conics and critical pathways). As they progressed with a problems they would learn, play and apply it, in the end we has several photos and it made the creation of a solution easy for the students, easy to show merit and in one case excellence level thinking across the board!

We have been moving for some time away from the long answer model of assessment and towards other modes. Students could easily (slightly) adapt the content of these assessments to become speeches, web pages or formal essays - and double dip on the credits too!

For the representation and narrative standards, students can submit their work as written essays, blogs, or podcasts, or they can present their research to the class via Prezi or Slides. These various options help students share what they know using a mode that suits their strengths.

We have had real success this year with the purchase of a Go Pro 360 camera. We been able to capture lots of action/evidence of doing without having to stage it. We do find we have lots of film to go through but the evidence is real it very naturally occurring. WHat we are finding is that students really enjoy seeing the evidence and are far more willing to back up this evidence with written explanation/feedback because the evidence is naturally occurring and often the film is the first time others have seen what happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Have tried to collect evidence of a video journal instead of a progress log.  Gave them questions to answer to help them cover enough points.  Some were very unsure about this mode.
Have had students develop a google site before, but some have lost content (unsure how) so leaning away from this in the future.

When outlining an assessment, I use a series of questions which they need to be able to answer for the assessment. Most write an essay or make a slideshow, but I have found that some students who don't like or aren't good at writing can plan responses and then I can interview them and voice record on my phone. This also gives me the ability to ask them for more detail or follow up something they have said.

Education Perfect is a great resource - especially for the language and reading sections. The juniors really enjoy it and you van set up competitions between students in your class, or a class v class.

As a bit of a videor myself I'd like to get the kids doing them for assessment. I did have my scholarship students present essentially the outline to an internal assessment & record it for them. I think probably they would have meet the criteria for at least Achieved, possibly Merit. The only issue was that they presented it as a group & i'm not sure how you can judge how much each individually knew.

we have been using poster and report writing for our L1 internals.
Games, quiz,  and Kahoot were given during classes that lead up to the assessment. I have tried to get my students to do google docs but it was a big fail since we hardly access to the computer.

Getting students to sit down in front of a camera and have a conversation, not really a mode of assessment but could be used for formative assessment.
