I really have loved UTips in the past.  The new Utips is really hard for me to use.  I even spent time working with my class and trying to get things set up.  I used the state codes and tried but it didn't work because I couldn't add students.  I'm waiting for help.

Assignment on Gaming and Assessment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-mc9Rrfs00

We learn from our mistakes  Students learn more from taking tests than from studying for tests- it gives concrete feedback right away with what you know and what you don't. There is no fear that you will never play the game again when you learn from mistakes in gaming. At a charter school in New York they get to keep taking the test until they get the grade they like, not just one time.  The minute they got it wrong, they got to retake it...like a video game allows.  Some students make games to solve world problems....it helps with Citizenship.

The idea of retaking until you get the grade you want is just like gaming.  I like it as long as the problems are different...and we are assessing the skill.  Just memorizing the answers isn't the right way, so having tests not be multiple choice would be one way to help.

It really helps that students are used to playing games and that leds them to doing something hard over and over again.
