Presenting Stuff

How is it?

A month or two ago "V" asked Steve and I if we were interested in presenting some of the stuff we are doing?
A bit scary but we listened more. "V" said he was prepared to help out in giving advice on the structure of the content and prompt us when and if needed.
Did a mini show and tell about Authentic Learning that embraces the Living Curriculium.
This was a very short one and I used a blog as the medium to present it. Several questions were asked at the end of the prezzi, one was on how assessment would be done. This question was in relationship to a concept I'm exploring at present. This is using a conversational rubric fro assessment.
Which is of the greater value? the learning that happens within the student or the measurement of percieved or dictated standards?
In the change to Student Centered Learning, it is my belief that learning is the foci.

After all, what is the use of adopting loftier goals for yourself and your students if you continue to use multiple-choice tests that seek the “right” answer, capturing only the lower-level knowledge that is easiest to measure? Rather than relying on a single assessment method, instructors who adopt authentic learning methods must analyze multiple forms of evidence to measure student performance, including observations of student engagement and artifacts produced in the process of completing tasks.
