My sandcastle assessment was developed for my 7th grade virtual math students. This assessment is focused on a real world engaging context that allows students to apply their learning in a genuine way.

As a virtual teacher when I am providing feedback and collecting data I am pushed to challenge students to move beyond AI and add a personal touch to their work. “While AI can generate content, it can’t build trust, provide emotional support, or create the kind of collaborative learning that happens when humans work together toward shared goals.”...]]></description><link>https://hoppalexandriar.wixsite.com/hopp-into-edtech/post/assessing-self-assessment</link><guid isPermaLink="false">691a5ffb80f146b984df2b5e</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Nov 2025 23:45:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/de3cf8_475ab5d286054b7eb3d8b9aeebd1bc11~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_957,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Alexandria Hopp</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technological Sweet Spot ]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the world of education we are teetering on a line between human interaction and the technological advancements which are entering into the field.

Just because this is the view of what assessment looks like does not mean it is what gets the most accurate results of what a student actually knows about a concept. “Rather than using a single test, of one type, at the end of teaching, effective teacher-assessors gather lots of evidence along the way, using a variety of methods and formats.” (Wiggins,...]]></description><link>https://hoppalexandriar.wixsite.com/hopp-into-edtech/post/assessing-together</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68f524126bef380dfdccd788</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2025 17:53:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po40I4c94R0" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Alexandria Hopp</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Co-crafting an Improved Assessment]]></title><description><![CDATA[Co-crafting Questions Routine Sometimes in teaching things are based on good ideas but fall short in practice.
