"Peter H. Reynolds, creativity advocate and best-selling author and illustrator, and co-founder of FableVision Learning, has created a new animated short called The Testing Camera — a whimsical poke at high-stakes, standardized testing and a reminder that real assessment is as easy, and — at the same time — as challenging as getting to really know the gifts and talents of every child."
Peter Reynolds shares one view of how students may feel in the high stakes testing environment that exists in schools today. The movie may bring a tear to your eye. The video is short, about 4 minutes, and there is also a poster (shown above). This video could be a great way to begin a discussion on authentic learning and why it is important.
