Kindergarten All About Me UBD - Sarah Zanidean

Students created an “all about me” book as a summative assessment from various lessons that I taught as part of an "all about me" UBD. We had many books and videos learning about others, and themselves, they also brought various items for show and tell, etc. The focus was more on writing or drawing pictures as part of a book for the final assessment of the UBD. I thought it would be way better to do a small page and use Aurasma instead of creating a booklet. Now that I think about it- a booklet seems pretty outdated, but at the time, it seemed like a good final assessment to wrap up the unit.
Students would be filling in the page I have attached to this document (or use a different template), and then creating a video through the Aurasma app to talk more about themselves. This incorporates some of the 7 C’s by allowing students to be innovative, and emphasize communication by using technology and developing digital technologies. I think this is more innovative in terms of assessing and allows for teaching 21st century skills in a Kindergarten setting. The picture can hang in the classroom, but when using the Aurasma app, parents, teachers and students can access their video by scanning the photo using the app. The rubric was made with smiley faces- sad, neutral, happy, I would keep this rubric the same, it’s easy for students to understand.
