I listened to the State of the Union last night, and was pleased to hear the president criticize "teaching to the test," my least favorite trend in education. Because I teach art, I have been spared the standardized tests that occur in other disciplines; and you know what, somehow the kids still make progress, and I am still accountable.But what if they had to take a test? Would it look like THIS? Holy cow!! I got so stressed out taking this test that I received a terrible score!
That's an interesting test. It took me a while to figure out what was expected so after a couple of perplexed clicks, I started over. I got perfect scores on the first two but kind of went downhill from there.
ReplyDeletenot sure what the scores should be, but it took me a while to figure out how to do it too!! that was really challenging! i had to kind of turn off my brain and go with intuition, letting my fingers and eyes do it on their own...
ReplyDeleteI guess the secret to any test is practicing it a few times first. I definitely improved on round 2. But was I ever bad on Round 1.
ReplyDeleteSome schools practice test-taking up the wazoo, and that's the problem with tests. They use up a lot of time when you could be doing something else.
I think it won't work on the iPad. That or I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.
ReplyDeleteI should mention that you have to click on the word THIS, not on the picture. If you do that it should work on the iPad.
ReplyDeleteOk, so I tried it on my computer but it still took me a while to figure out what to do and the once I did, to get control. I still wasn't sure how moving the mouse translated to the screen. I hadn't quite pinned that down when it was done. I got a 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3. The first three I totally blew trying to figure out what to do. the last three I mostly perfects and very goods.
ReplyDeleteEllen, yeah, you're just like me. (Only I got a 0 on the quaternary part of it, while I pondered what quaternary colors are!) If I didn't get so flustered by the fact that it was timed, I could have figured it out better. I know my color sense isn't bad, but I was bad at this test at first.
