“What would a final exam look like in a course organized around a complex problem that must be considered in the light of several disciplines? Students would be asked to write an extended take-home essay about "what it means to be an American."-- and they would know from the first day of class that this was the final exam question.
The second part of the final exam would require students to present and defend their papers in a public exhibition where parents would observe and ask questions. The Students’ oral and written work would be assessed on their ability to display a range of evidence to make their points. They would have to meet a performance standard to get a Merit Badge in American Studies.” -- this is the essence of the digital portfolio. (page 139)”
― Tony Wagner, Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era

Stephen Keague
“The audience are likely to remember only three things from your presentation or speech”
― Stephen Keague, The Little Red Handbook of Public Speaking and Presenting
