    This article discusses the future possibility of taking classroom exams on tablets. Tablet manufacturers are slowly providing the necessary security that would be needed to support this change. As with all advance in technology, there are pros and cons that need to be weighed and considered. There is even mention of a future possibility of BYOTD (bring your own testing device).

    Great source for this article. As schools begin to move to more devices like the Tablets, this will definitely impact testing. I enjoyed reading about "locking down the device" as more and more tests are taken online.

    This is a very interesting article written by John Merrow (Education Correspondent, PBS Newshour). He says that technology could be "breaking barriers" in education, but that it isn't being used to it's fullest potential with the increasing focus on high-stakes testing. Teachers are afraid to take risks with technology to help engage students because test scores might fall by the wayside.

    Richard Byrne is an AMAZING educator with great resources. He highlights an extension for Chrome that automatically highlights vocabulary words for standardized tests (high school/college) and then defines with the hover of a mouse. The video is pretty impressive. This would be a wonderful tool for my students in my English classroom.

    A new study is being conducted to see whether or not use of 3D technology in the classroom enhances the learning experience. The results showed an increase in test scores, attentiveness, and student's ability to recall information. The study was conducted in the UK and involved 740 students age 10-13.

    Some day I'll tell my grand-children about seeing my first 3-D movie with "special glasses." Great article.
