value of our moving to open-computer testing, is excellent.
My own post on "open computer testing" is here:

<http://21k12blog.net/2010/11/18/open-computer-testing-putting-21st-c-learning-to-the-test/>Our
kids will spend the entirety of their professional life with
google-accessible information at their fingertips, and the project is to
prepare them to make the most of that opportunity. We can do that, and we
can make exam-taking more interesting and more challenging, in fact, if we
embrace "Google-proof" tests.
Thanks Steve.
