An HDR image and the source imagjes

This image, entitled "Reflections," was photographed at the area of Acadia National Park referred to as Wonderland.

Here is the HDR composite merged in Photomatix Pro:

Flickr Tests

The image below resides on Yahoo!'s server as part of my Flickr account. It appears here via code linked to that account - it is not contained on the server hosting this blog (Google). Flickr requires that I link directly back to the image in my Flickr feed. If you click on the image, it will take you to my Flickr photo feed (note that this occurred by default, and I would have to alter the HTML code to prevent it).

The image below has been uploaded directly to this blog, resides on Google's server, which hosts the blog, and consequently doesn't require a link to Flickr. If you click on it, you'll get an enlarged view, but you'll remain in this blog.

A concept map connecting my thoughts as I pondered the relationships:

Assessment and Evaluation

Concept Maps

Assessment and Evaluation at Three Levels

1 - Program

2 - Learners

3 - Technology

Below is a PDF of the three concept maps. The full screen icon on the bottom right of the frame launches a new window displaying the document in the Windows SkyDrive Word app. It is recommended that the viewer set the scale on the very bottom right of the new window to "Full Page" (default is 75%).

Below are the three concept maps as separate images.

Program Design, Evaluation, and Assessment

Evaluation and Assessment of Learners

Evaluation and Assessment of Technology

The cycle of "Formative Feedback" and "Responsive Adjustments," and the cycle of "Revise" and "Design" are patterns presented by Lever-Duffy and McDonald (2011) in their model of Dynamic Instructional Design. The language of "representation, engagement, and expression" refers to Universal Design for Learning as described in the online video "UDL at a Glance" (UDLCAST, 2010). The language of "knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation" refers to Blooms Taxonomy as discussed by Bedard-Voorhees, Johnson, and Dobson (2011).
