Chapter 4: Assessing Digital Stories

Grading. it might seem like a difficult task when reading papers, essay prompts and who knows that else that isn't multiple choose or feel in the blanks. Easy part of math..HAHA. But when technology is introduced, what makes one movie or one version of a story better than another. Just because one person used technology and another didn't, does that make one better than the other? Is the student that uses technology "smarter" than the other student? These are some questions to as and somethings to consider when grading digital media. Technology has the ability to make you smarter, but the fact that you know how to use it doesn't mean you are smarter. A student that knows how to use the latest music recording software ware and movie making software may not know how to do calculus or write a paper. Doesn't mean they aren't smart, but just because they know how doesn't mean they are either. The Table 4.1 is a great way you can "grade" someone on how they did and much effort they put into their work. I do agree with the table, I believe it is a great way to put someone's effort into perspective and give them an fair grade. It makes the "playing" field leveled.



Just Because you know how to use a Mac, doesn't make you smart....or a "Genius" HAHA!
