request for examples of student assignments

[Nancy Law]

Hi Jeremy
We have been building up a professional development network of teachers on
knowledge building and an "online course on knowledge building" was
developed as a resource for teachers
(http://lcp.cite.hku.hk/resources/KBSN/intro/default.html). That website
contains resources collated from various sources including examples of
assessment used by teachers
http://lcp.cite.hku.hk/resources/KBSN/Q6/main1d.html. I'm not sure whether
this is relevant for you.
Nancy

Hello all,

I don't know if this helps you Jeremy,I've attached an assessment of the
pilot of UK 21st Century science  curriculum.
And here are some links to curriculum and assessment materials:

http://www.21stcenturyscience.org
http://www.21stcenturyscience.org.uk/support/
http://www.twentyfirstcenturyscience.com/
http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/For2006-NewGCSETwentyFirstCenturySc
ienceSuite.html
http://www.qca.org.uk/10963_1734.html

I should add that we have been awarded a major research grant, in
partnership with the Open University, to develop personal technologies
based on a 'scripted inquiry' approach, to support 21st century science
learning between schools, homes and discovery centres.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hi G1on1ers,

I am wondering if anyone from outside the U.S. has a paper that
describes a 21st century "assignment" given to students to do and gives
examples of student work on the assignment. By a 21st century
assignment, I mean one that gives kids an opportunity to demonstrate
their teamwork, problem solving, creative thinking, etc. strengths. Even
if you don't have a paper written, we'd love a few great examples of
21st century assignments and student work on them.

thanks,
