Alternative Assessment
More than written tests! (oral exams?!)
Break up assignments over time. (e.g., Google Docs, Wikis...)
Ensure tasks are relevant for your students.(youth culture; urban/rural; unique family experiences...)
Teach students to create electronic portfolios.
Provide opportunities for CHOICE.
Differentiate by use of keywords; initials; experiences.
