All I use in Study Skills, except my fake test (the one where you are supposed to read it first and the last thing it says is don't mark on this test - middle schoolers wear out a lot of erasers=great fun for me!). I use online surveys to test kids sometimes, but usually look at content creation, like a blog post, wiki collaboration, movie, game they created, etc. I don't assign hw (except bring your science book to class or something like that OR daily scribe) or give paper tests.

I have students develop project-based portfolios on our technology assignments and they put together what they feel best represents their understanding of specific skills areas that relate to the teaching standards for using technology.<br />
<br />
We then use rubrics and peer assessment for the grading.<br />
<br />
I have the students create the grading criteria and then apply it to the portfolios. I make all of them grade each other's portfolio. It takes time, but I want them to understand how to use assessment.

Go to edorigami to find rurics that take a new look at project assessment. Maybe looking at the rubrics you can see what kinds of projects you could do---seems like cart before horse but might jar some ideas.<br />
<br />
We have used reflection essays to assess understanding--still written and harder to assess.

Absolutely. I do a presentation entitled "Not Another Paper! Alternative Assessments Using Technology," and you're welcome to use <a href="http://edtechteacher.org/lessons.html">my examples</a>: . I incorporate oral interviews/histories, web site creation, group audio blogging, and more.
