Walter,
I agree with your position about this. I often think of it in these terms:
we want to talk about depth of learning and not just proficiency in regards
to skills and content. To do that, we need to offer al alternative world
to the one that argues for more and more high stakes testing. The tools you
propose seem really consistent with that.
And thanks for sharing the article.

Amidst all the discussion about the future of Sugar, it would be good
to keep in mind what more we can do in terms of analyitics and
evaluation. We have a pretty decent mechanism (wrtiten by Martin) for
data gathering about what kids do; the portfolio for assessing what
they have done; and a few rubrics for tying together some of these
data. The ideas expressed in [1] suggest we could do more.
