And we don't need to wait until the end of a unit or the ranking period to allow students to use creativity to demonstrate their understanding.  Formative assessments can be rich and powerful learning experiences,  while  remaining focused and succinct.  Consider how might we choreograph a short story, remix a political party, sketchnote an equation, costume a scientific phenomenon, or hashtag a nutrition plan in the service of deeper learning?  Let's discuss these ideas and more.","Link":["https:\/\/www.danryder207.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We will use Twitter and Instagram to push metaphorical representations of our ideas into the edusphere via #educon and #rigorouswhimsy hashtags, while also rapid fire prototyping the ideas established and adding documentation of those those prototypes to a FlipGrid grid.  This will allow everyone to access these ideas after the conversation -- while also bringing other voices into the conversation from outside EduCuon during the session and after.","Presenter":["Dan Ryder"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Mt.

The intent instead is to create a conversation that turns into actionable ideas that EduCon attendees and their extended networks may put into immediate practice in the classroom.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":8}}
