Techy Testing

Our reading tests are getting techy!  Our story assessment over our weekly reading story is usually a paper and pencil test.  Not anymore!  Students will now be taking their assessment on iPads!  Using a QR code projected to the front of the room, students will scan the code and will then be directed to the digital version of the test.  Using their iPad, students will then answer the story comprehension and vocabulary questions.  When they are finished with the assessment, their answers are sent to my computer where they are graded with a Google Doc app called Flubaroo.

While this sounds complicated, it is incredibly simple and students are doing a wonderful job adjusting to the new technology.  Printouts of how your student did on their test will still be sent home for you to see.  Be sure to ask your student about the new test format!
