MME Digital Learning Projects: An Antidote to Standardized Testing
posted 10 hours ago
MME Digital Learning Projects (DLPs) are student created educational songs & YouTube videos using photographs from the Library of Congress for visuals and MME music as audio templates.
a) DLPs are either solo or collaborative projects, so students will develop the ability to function as more than isolated test takers.
b) The work requires group members to play different roles, allowing the diverse gifts of students to be exercised and recognized. Testing ignores the innate talents of many if not most students.
c) Something meaningful & fun will be created. When students are finished they will have a rocking song or music video on YouTube. This can bring back refrigerator-hanging pride in school work. Standardized testing is essentially meaningless to students.
d) Working with music and primary source photographs involves art appreciation and nurtures creativity. Standardized testing has marginalized art, music, recess, Phys. Ed. & Social Studies.
e) all of the above
f) enough of the above
