Poll Question on online testing

� What are your plans for online testing:

– Participated in PARCC, SBAC, or other field test last year

– Planning to participate in state-wide online testing this year

– Planning to participate in state-wide online testing next year

– Other or no plans yet


Extreme Survey: Assessment Readiness


Online Assessment Resources


Experiences with online assessments

http://www.extremenetworks.com/parcc-and-smarter-balanced-common-core-testing-practical-it-infrastructure-tips-and-hints

• CommunicationSpeak with school administrators, school committee members, building administrators, and teachers. Let everyone know what is happening in regards to technology readiness of PARCC in your district. Blog it. Tweet it. Write about it on your school website. It takes a village to give a PARCC test.

• The School NetworkChelmsford is fortunate to have an Extreme Network with robust bandwidth, wireless capability, and switches handling 10 gigs between schools. All of these layers create the foundation for a reliable school network capable of handling the PARCC testing as well as our digital and curriculum needs. All the devices need a solid network infrastructure.

• Social MediaFollow Twitter #PARCC. Districts were tweeting issues as a heads up for others. We learned about issues that other districts were having and avoided those issues.

• PARCC RangersPrepare your tech team for PARCC testing. Keep your eye on those PARCC Tech Bulletins and Weekly Technology Update Communications. PARCC is not only an assessment for students, but also for your technology department. Whenever possible, manage the network installations and updates through group policy or other network tools. Even with the best network management, there are times when a school technician is needed to run around, help out, and do what they do best, FIX STUFF. Don’t forget to celebrate when it is over!

� Sports training - Coach and spectators can experience athlete's perspective and provide real-time coaching. Athlete can view recordings to improve head and body motions

� Remote in-classroom experience - Professor wears Glass during lecture and opens a Hangout

� Provide virtual reality simulations to students - Student performs an operation, plays tennis, walks in space, returns a kick-off

� Class management - Professor takes attendance and pulls recent grades for students; can call up deeper subject content if discussion requires
