Some of our middle school math students have been using a site called Mangahigh. As I observed last week, it seemed as if the students were highly engaged, learning math concepts in a game format. They weren’t just playing against themselves, or their classmates, but against other schools in other countries.
The “what if” question: What if high stakes tests were administered in this format? Would we get good data and would our students be engaged?
I've retired from public education after 34 years, most recently as Superintendent. In addition to blogging at WorkingAtTheEdge.org, I co-host two podcasts at TLTalkRadio.org and ShiftYourParadigm.org. Learn more at https://workingattheedge.org/about/.
