Teacher and Student Technology Practices

“If we are serious about pursuing a college and career readiness agenda for all students, it will be vital to leverage the power of technology to improve instruction, assessment

and professional development…” - State Educational Technology Directors Association www.sedta.org

“If the American education system is to prepare its students to meet the demands of an increasingly technological

world, indeed if it is to be effective at all, must integrate technology into the academic curriculum.” – Dr. Bill Daggett

You can find these slides on pp. 88-99 in your manual.

Key Technology Features of TNReady - Math

• Student Generated Response: Open-ended response using an equation editor (Part 1 and Part 2)



•Graphic: Students depict graphically. Students may graph circles, lines, add points to form a line graph, or shade regions of a graph. (Part 1 and Part 2)



• Technology Enhanced Items: Students perform an interaction to respond to the question. (Part 1 and Part 2).



• Traditional Multiple Choice: Choose one answer (Part 1 and Part 2)

• Multiple Select: Choose multiple answers or objects. (Part 1 and Part 2)

• Performance Tasks: Solve multi-step problems and demonstrate how the solution is achieved. (CRA Type Tasks, ONLY Part 1)


Key Technology Features of TNReady - ELA

• Writing Tasks: Students write paragraphs to explain their response.

• Multiple Choice: Traditional multiple choice

• Multiple Select: More than one answer choice

•Technology Enhanced Items: Moving blocks of texts or highlighting texts, i.e. “Drag and Drop”



• Evidence-Based Selected Response:

Two parts. Choice for part A must be supported by choice for part B


What are the necessary technology practices needed for success on TNReady?

• Regular practice with the item sampler (MICA).• Regular practice experiencing the variety of question types.• Timed tasks and sample assessments online.• Regular practice word processing.• Teachers modeling expectations of online performance• Reading texts on a monitor, highlighting, scrolling, etc..• Regular practice on a calculator where blueprints indicate.
