We're half way through our week of standardized testing and except for some scheduling issues, things have been going smoothly. This year the test has been on computers which is a great step forward.
The only drawback is that our network can barely handle it. Every day I have at least one class that has a hard time staying connected to the Internet and my second-screen laptop has a real hard time for about half the day. My programming class is working on their apps for tablets using App Inventor and they also struggle to stay connected to test out their code.
The test this year has also shown what a valuable skill keyboarding will be moving forward, so I hope that there is more support for teaching this at the elementary level.
