- 72. ...when assigning a project, teachers look for mastery of content and allow students to take ownership of how they present that content. A teacher may ask students to demonstrate their knowledge of photosynthesis, but rather than give them a specific means of doing so, will allow the students to use any available resources to do so. This not only gets the students innovating more as they navigate through this task, but more importantly makes each student’s experience unique and gives them ownership over the product they produce. Some students 15 March may make posters, some a voicethread, some a 2012 powerpoint or prezi, but this should be no problem for the educator as they are assessing on mastery learning objectives and not actual means of presenting them. http://theoffbeatmaestro.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/new-england-11-summit-2/ Friday, March 16, 12
