Two assessment styles from Prensky book I would use in the classroom

1.  The most important assessment style that I would use would be the Peer assessments.  I like peer assessments over other styles because students feel more pressured to do well, and on a positive note they can get suggestions and advice on how they may improve or receive complements on work well done.  As Prensky states, " It gives the student a feeling that their work has an audience, and that the audience cares about their work."

2.  The second most important assessment style we should teach our students is to self-assess! I believe that self assessing helps students reflect on the steps necessary to reach a goal or excel in their learning progress.  Prensky states that, " self assessing is critical because students will need and use it for the rest of their lives in order to control their actions." Self assessment gives an individual an opportunity for continual improvment.
