Curation for Learning-Assessing Online Sources with CRAAP

There is not better time to give a CRAAP than when curating resources for ones self and others. CRAAP stands for currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose. It was developed by California State University-Chico librarians-as if I could possibly LOVE librarians any more than I already did. CRAAP serves as a rubric for determining if resource is current with its information, vital to ones needs, who created it, how accurate or truthful is the information provided, and what the point of the source is. Additionally, I looked over three other rubrics The University of Minnesota's College of Education Open Textbook Library, Faculty Guide for Evaluating OERs by BC Librarians, and Achieve's OER Rubric. Achieve's rubric (2011) was my initial choice, but not applicable for assessing the source I selected. CRAAP worked the best.

I elected to assess Flipgrid. It is a tool that allows for video and podcast discussion format recordings. It is easy for students, parents, and teachers to use. Here are my results of the CRAAP online source assessment rubric of Flipgrid.

My goals are three fold; make the class and course materials personal, positive and profound. I would like to successful shape the semesters to be project-based with a student portfolio submission at the end of each semester. I ...

Teacher for Learning-Mastery

Okay, shoot me. I couldn't resist an opportunity for a little NKOTB. And now that you have your ear worm for the day, let's talk about student mastery. Step-by Step! 🎶🎵 I recently had a great conversation with a respected colleague and unofficial mentor on how mandated learning objectives should be replaced with performance objectives. He asserted that the key concepts are supported by the performance outcomes which encompasses learning, resources, and guidelines. He is on a Nick Shackleton-Jones kick. But shouldn't our mandated learning objectives reflect the very same? After some reflection on our conversations, it dawned on me that this is where curriculum mapping and lesson plans come into play. That the performance objectives are the highways that lead to the learning objectives. Consider the learning objectives a destination. Humor me. The highways the performance objectives the highways and the vehicle itself is formed by the very components of learning. All...
