"How do we measure creativity,
critical thinking, communication, or any of the 6 C's of 21st Century Learning
without a clear understanding of what we are hoping to

Jason Richea and I decided to join Tina and Matthew in taking on the task of defining the 6 C's, beginning with creativity. You can read all of our original input here. The next step was coming up with a 6 word definition.
My assessment hat seemed to be glued on. I kept coming up with success criteria for a creative product. Then, I got stuck on the 6 word limit. While blow drying my hair this morning I wondered if I could get around the 6 word limit by using symbols - and I pictured something. When I got to school I tried to create it - ahhh, no Photoshop! So I quickly drew this (those are hands holding a brain, which represents imagination).
I painted at recess. 
At the Tim Horton's drive thru at lunch I finally came up with my 6 word definition and went back to school to put this together.
Driving home, I wasn't satisfied. The hands were too stagnant - they should be transforming something! (and now I see that I wrote trasnforming - oops). Even though I liked that it was a visual representation & used symbols, my definition really called for some movement. I got the Play-Doh out and borrowed my husband's hands and filmed a quick Vine. Wasn't happy with it. So we tried something else and experienced audio problems. Finally, we came up with this:
It is still not exactly what I wanted, but it makes me laugh.
Creativity: transforming imagination into new, relevant products.

I think you need to use the Aurasma app for your activity. I think it would lend nicely to it.
