How are you handling the need for lots of kids to be online
simultaneously using a secure browser under sufficiently similar
identical testing conditions for online versions of tests like ERB?
We have a lot of laptop carts and 4 stationary computer labs, but
even with tremendous teamwork it has been way past nutty to figure
out how to get this done without serious disruptions to business as
usual. Using the laptop carts for the tests pose a lot of logistical
problems with power, power supplies, reimaging, trackpad vs. mouse,
etc. Using stationary labs starts lots of other curricular dominos
falling. We have about 125 kids per grade level in grades that take
the tests.
I'm not seeing any elegant solutions out there. Please don't say
"stop administering standardized tests". That isn't my call.
Anyone?
Thanks.
