Questions from Google Docs Registration Form
Will there be a sample schedule on how to implement the test across grade levels with times and places? – Accountability & Research guidance
hardware/ie., will iPads work etc – see slides 9 & 10 for hardware and softwareiPads need wired keyboardsChromebooks need management pack
Access points being able to handle everything – Run Testing Capacity test
Java updates? – More information pending
Just worried about java and bandwith – Run Testing Capacity test
If the test have audio for kids to listen to if so i need to know.- This year only students using text to speech will need headphones
Wireless connectivity being bumped up for available internet connectivity – 1. Recommend limiting streaming during testing2. Direct internet access only during student login process then proctor
caching3. Recommend staggering students logging in
Java and Flash upgrades with generic school logins – Not common to all schools, IT researching
All equipment needs including mice, earphones and other accessories. - Consider mice for laptops – drag and drop on test
Logistics around setting up & administering at the site – Setting up site tech/IT responsibility; administering SAC responsibility
