Ross Johnson
AEL from NSW
Ross argues that creativity and assessment CAN be friends!
Too much duplication across assessments led to both staff and students being ready and willing to try something different and get some change in their curriculum.
Ross shared with us a range of projects and assets that were created by students with different software, using fundamentals of technology and design to tell a story, observing how the students approached their project.
Student examples
Ross adopted the 'Four Icon Challenge' he experienced himself in an EDEX course to create a project for his students to really show their understanding of recognisable concepts in a visual language.
His final share was of a creative task of soft drink brand development, to be presented in a 'Shark Tank' style scenario.
