Activity 2.2

Step 2: Understanding the Teacher Workspace

Before looking at sample projects that incorporate thinking tools, you should create a teacher account so you can save projects of interest to your Teacher Workspace that you may want to adapt later for your own use. Your password-protected Teacher Workspace is where you create assessments, set up thinking tool projects, create Student Teams, and assign teams to one or more projects. All learners log in through your account with a team ID and password that you create. Learners or Student Teams do not register themselves and no personally identifying information is collected about your learners.

You are able to view and comment on the work that your Student Teams produce since it is stored in your Teacher Workspace. All work is saved on Intel’s servers and will be available indefinitely—until you delete the projects. Both learners and teachers can log in from any Internet-connected computer. Only teachers have access to the assessments created with Assessing Projects application.
