4. Final Team Product/Performance • Reflects mastery of all learner outcomes and attempts to answer the essential question and addresses the coaching questions • Is a synthesis of individual work done in a team • Is not a collection of individual pieces of work • Uses technology in order to create a multimedia product to communicate & demonstrate learning

5. Evaluation of Digital Student Products • Every student product created will be uploaded to the Illinois Instructional Data Portal • Lesson Profile will be completed on Data Portal for each group of projects • Used for evaluation of product for state report • Will use information directly from your unit development documents • Helps define “multimedia”

16. Designing Collaborative, Creative Learning Experiences • Step 1: Choose format of FTP product • Step 2: Use individual assessments as foundation for group work • Step 3: Divide final product into component pieces to be developed after each individual assessment • Step 4: Develop focused group activities for building the component pieces including deliverable for each group work session • Step 5: Develop rubric for use with students in evaluating work

17. Genetics • FINAL TEAM PERFORMANCE • What understandings of genetics and behavior are essential for responsible dog ownership? • Each team will produce a wiki page to answer the essential question and promote responsible dog ownership of their chosen breed. • Cover page (produced by class teams) will include: • Justification/Need for producing this work • a genetic comparison of mixed breed and purebred dogs • Adoption information for local animal shelters

18. Genetics • FINAL TEAM PERFORMANCE • What understandings of genetics and behavior are essential for responsible dog ownership? • Each team page will include: • the genetic characteristics/disposition of a chosen breed • environmental conditions necessary to “bring out the best” in that breed • Information can be in the form most appropriate for communicating the information for the audience including, but not limited to: • Audio files • Video files • Images/drawings • Animations • Documents, presentation, spreadsheets • Hyperlinks

19. First Step: Individual Assessments • Choose individual assessments • Do they completely and effectively assess the higher level benchmark?
