Amidst STEM Education Hype, NoRedInk Is On A Mission To Fix America’s Grammar Problem by Rip Empson. 26 October 2012. http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/26/amidst-stem-education-hype-noredink-is-on-a-mission-to-fix-americas-grammar-problem/.
I'm using this heat map found online as a sample. At a glance I notice a lot of red towards the middle of the heat map. I would definitely see the need to review concepts on plural possessive, singular possessive, and plural nouns. Concepts with a lot of blue like general contractions, you're vs your, letters of the alphabet, and adjectives seem to be grasped pretty well by the class as a whole. I can also identify particular students who may be in need like Gabriel Manos and Jessenia Rushing and pinpoint which concepts they need to review. Towanda Saterfiel is doing very well and because of that it is easy to see that she needs extra help with plurals of numbers. I can easily send notifications and remediation to students using this heat map because I can see exactly where their strengths and weaknesses lie.
