  3. Agenda • What are Next Generation Assessments (NGAs)? • What tech skills are needed for NGAs? • Are our students prepared? • Resources available to help students

  4. What are NGAs • Next Generation Assessments have many of the following characteristics: • Delivered online • Interactive (drag and drop, click to highlight) • Use of manipulatives (virtual protractors, rulers, calculators) • Use of simulations • Use of multimedia (videos, audio) • Multiple part questions

  5. What tech skills are needed?

  6. What tech skills are needed? • The purpose of these assessments is to determine the students' mastery of subject-area content, not their technology abilities. • Lack of technology skills could negatively impact a student's performance on an assessment, and not give a true measure of their subject knowledge.

  7. Are our students prepared? In the Spring, SPARCC conducted a survey of students who took the practice tests to find out about their experience. Full results from the survey can be found here: Statistical Summary Link Student Feedback Link

  8. Difficulty with tasks?

  9. Compared to paper/pencil?

  10. Student feedback There was too much clicking you had to do, when i thought i was done with a problem and move on i had more to answer and didn't know what it was. It is to hard to understand what to do. The tools are hard to remember also. How are we supposed to know which button does what without learning it? Troubles with tools: delete button, dragging/dropping,

  11. Survey Conclusions • Younger students thought the online test was easier than paper and pencil, but they have the most difficulty with the skills needed. • Older students thought the online test was harder than paper and pencil, even though they had less difficulty with the skills needed. • All students need more practice taking online assessments to develop familiarity and a comfort level taking next generation assessments.

  12. Resources Available Eric Curts developed a website to collect and share free online resources to help students develop familiarity and proficiency with the technology skills they will need for next generation assessments. nextgen.apps.sparcc.org Brandi Young put together a Pearltree for INFOhio INFOhio's tech skills for online testing

  13. Question Examples Formulas and other information needed to answer questions Buttons needed to know to answer a math problem
