094 | How Do You Assess Ungrading? with Dr. Timothy Shea & Twitter for Education

03/21/23 • 60 min

Dr. Timothy Shea joins us for episode 4 in the ungrading series to discuss HOW we even assess ungrading. Isn't the point not to assess? Wrong. Assessment and feedback are key to learning, but numerical/alphabetical grades are not. Listen in for how Dr. Shea has been doing this for decades! He also leaves us with an oldie but a goodie: Twitter for Education. He still uses Twitter for his professional purposes and trains students how to effectively engage in social media tools.
