Google Roadshow: STAAR Edition

It's that time of the year again!  Each and every single spring, students and teachers from around the nation begin to prepare for end of the year assessments.  From grade level specific state testing to college entrance exams, teachers are preparing review material to help students prepare for the end of the year. 

As much as we all dread test prep, it is often a necessary evil that accompanies public school education.  While I could write a blog post much longer than you probably want to read about my views on testing, I wanted to take time to help you prepare students for testing.  Test preparation does not have to be boring for teachers or students.  Long gone are the days when test preparation simply meant handing students a packet of never-ending worksheets to regurgitate answers through test formatted questions.  That is torture for everyone involved.  Through the use of Google Forms, you can build formative assessments, prepare differentiated material, and accelerate learning for students who need more.  

Over the next few weeks, I am sharing and learning with the seven PK-6 campuses I support, and I just couldn't forget about YOU.  Take time to (re)discover how Google can help you take the boredom out  of test prep.  Please share what you use with your students!  I'm looking forward to learning from you.
