Thanks to Ayala for giving her opinion, however I would hesitate when
writing " It doesn't work with students who need to take their test orally
for various reasons." because, just because it did not work with YOUR oral
students, does NOT mean it will not work with OTHER oral students - and I
would not want to put others off from trying it.
There are opportunities to practice the skills needed here and THAT is what
is important.
I highly recommend as many schools as posible TRY the computerized test
option.
1. It IS the future.
2. Kids DO have to option of opting out.
3. It will make life SO much easier for us (the class teacher) in the end,
when the system has been perfected (but there is no way it can be perfected
without experimenting with it).
My 2 cents
Adele
