Today, tests are starting to be taken on the computer. Just today, my students took their third nine weeks benchmark on ClassScape.
Teachers can log in and choose objectives and competency goals based on the topic they would like the students to test on. I use this in my classroom as a study guide for a test, to actually give a test, and a review of previous materials.
They have prepackaged quizzes (two for each objective to the NCSCOS) and teachers can create their own quiz. Teachers can share a quiz with others in their school or county. All of the quizzes you create are saved year to year so you can assign them later if you like them.
This is really great to find example problems, especially in math, for my students. It provides teachers with another resource to pull from.
I am glad schools are finally providing students the opportunity to take tests online. The first time I was required to take an important test online, be it a college course or GRE, I was not prepared. Using the computer alone for a test made me nervous in addition to my nervousness over the test itself. However, with time and repetition, the computer is no longer a scary tool to take a test on.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this resource. I find this tool to be a great resources for teachers to have. Teachers are able to set their own objectives and tests for a different classes. Now, I am not a teacher but can these objectives be set individually? For example, if a students has fallen behind or is not at the same level of other students.
