Edutopia has an interesting article on Collaborative Assessment: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/collaborative-assessment-digital-classroom-social-media-tools?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EdutopiaNewContent+%28Edutopia%29&utm_content=Google+Reader . The author makes a statement that in today’s society, people need to be able to collaborate and work together in order to solve issues. As educators, we have gotten into the habit of telling our students exactly what they need to do in order to complete a task or assessment. We never leave the parameters open. The author goes on to say that we need to give an outline and let students decide what the parameters will be. If we want students to think outside the box, we have to stop putting them in one.
