McNiff+project



Updated with Demographics...see everyone at 5:30 on Thurs...



​ Here's version 4 with the other report referenced as well. 5:30 works for me on Thursday. Nice job guys. This is coming together. Matt 10:45 6-8-10.

Moved Slide 10. References look awesome! Make sure you grab version 4 - Chris posted 9:47 6-6-10

I think slide 10 should be our opening slide. Start general and then move specific. Comments? We need to decide who is doing what. (I don't mind justifying the sources. - Matt posted 20:10 6-6-2010. Please note this is v3. ​ OK -The presentation is coming together. I do believe we need an APA style reference page. I can do this and briefly annotate each source as to why we believe it is a valid and reliable source. Also, I talked to Lori and they were understanding from McNiff that each group has 30 minutes. I'd say we are getting to that as is. We don't want to go overboard here and take all night. - Matt

Here is version two for today. used CAHSEE Report below and [|www.ecs.org] (History of Min. Comp. Testing)

Some questions for the group....

Do we need a slide that defends why the websources we picked are valid and reliable? If so, does it need to be in the form of an APA reference page? Do you want any tabels or graphs added to slides? I noticed a comment below about demographic info and didn't know if there were specific graphs in the CAHSEE Report that you would like inserted as supporting information.

Ok, Last question..... - How long do we have? We are up to 7 slides with actual content, not counting transition slides.....

Keystone exams - a lot of propoganda links for & against. Valid websites?
