RTI: Digging Deeper Assessments {PAST link updated}
Since posting our school's RTI plan and links to the RTI documents we created at Lake Myra, several of you have asked about the Digging Deeper Assessments we use to drill down a child's most foundational literacy level....identified on the Otter Talk Form below (more on this form and the other RTI documents we created in my earlier Response to Intervention post). So, here are the all Digging Deeper Assessments we use in our school & district. Although none of them were originally created by our school/district, they are public assessments for anyone to use: Print Concepts based on Clay's Concept About Print from the Observational Survey use Busy Beavers or Detective Dog from the Story Basket Collection from the Wright Group Letter/Sound Identification, also a part of the Observations Survey Early Names Test Words Their Way Word Study Assessments Here is the binder cover I created for the RtI Digging Deeper Assessment binder...

Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style
What I love about Web 2.0 apps is the simplicity. Bloated desktop apps like Office and Photoshop, with their hundreds of menu items and toolbars, are powerful tools but become difficult for non techies to handle. Web 2.o tools, on the other hand, are focused on specific purposes, allowing them to be streamlined and simple enough for anyone to use. Meograph, a relatively new tool ( released in July, 2012 and still in Beta form) is one such simple to use but still powerful web app. ADD A MOMENT. That’s all there is to it. ( One more thing – it has share and embedding options so that you can add your Meograph to your own website/blog, as I have done, or post it directly to Twitter, Facebook and other popular Social Media sites like Pinterest, Google+ Delicious and StumblUpon.) While I have found Meograph to be a very useful and simple to use storytelling tool, there is room for improvement. The Timeline. Everything else is Beta based Bugs.
FreeMind
As with other mind mapping software packages, FreeMind allows the user to edit a hierarchical set of ideas around a central concept. The non-linear approach assists in brainstorming new outlines and projects as ideas are added around the mind map.[2] As a Java application, FreeMind is portable across multiple platforms and retains the same user interface, causing some amount of variation from the common interface on each platform. Mac users may notice the most difference from their traditional user interface, but a MacWorld reviewer says the software's features should still appeal to the segment of users who accept function over form.[5] FreeMind was a finalist for Best Project in SourceForge.net's Community Choice Awards for 2008, which featured Open Source software projects.[6][7] Features[edit] FreeMind's most significant features are as follows:[4][8] Forks[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
