Creating a WEB of Evidence of Student Performance in a Technology-Rich Learning Environment

摘要

In 1995, Vermont received a federal Technology Innovation Challenge Grant through the Montpelier School District called The WEB Project. The grant was written to be a statewide initiative aimed at helping students in Vermont schools demonstrate and improve their mastery of state standards through performance in Vital Results and two Fields of Knowledge: Arts, Language and Literature; and History and Social Sciences (specific sections of the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities). The grant was subtitled "Creating a WEB of Evidence of Student Performance in Nonverbal Inquiry and Expression." The project utilized multimedia telecommunications: as an educational environment for student inquiry, expression and dialogue about assigned literary texts; as a medium for presenting and assessing student works of traditional and digital art, music, and multimedia; and as a virtual faculty room for professional discussions about student work.
