    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.

The Intersection of Technology and Test Scores - 1 views

  •  
    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.
