Examples:
 * Online quizzes
 * Moodle-based OAT practice

Typically, technology has not been isolated in rubrics; our goal has been to embed the tech, more of a background tool. Is it time to add tech integration to rubrics? Issue: do we assess technology as a tool to learn or as discrete skills? How can we identify those skills?

Standards-based progress reporting vs. grades. Rubrics should guide project development and completion. Kids should know the expectations from the onset. Allow revisions, long-term effort. Process is as important as product. Everyone can achieve the top score.

Newest courses of study include technology. Do we need separate grade on progress reports? Then teachers may view tech as separate...someone else is responsible.

Do we need standards for technology for teachers? Idea: Optional Tech Tidbits (Tina) Online list of tech projects by grade level/subject area

Adult assessment...how do we evaluate teacher applications for funds. If we follow good practice, we would give teachers the criterion ahead of time. What about accountability...over time?
