KGAMMW replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I am student teaching in a 10th grade classroom – the year the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) is initially taken – in a school in which a greater percentage of students do not pass their OGT than the average school, because of the nature of…"

Nathaniel Zachrich replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I think it effects a lot how you do assessments. I would rather do an essay test or blue book test to get my students ready for college, minus the time it would take to grade. My sophomores have to take OGT style tests for every test. That is a…"

Leesa Corken replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I am currently working with 8th graders in both Pre-Algebra and Algebra II classes. While they are required to take mandated standardized tests like all other students, I do not feel the pressure to teach certain material on a timeline because of…"

Lauren Vest replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"In my classroom the standardized tests also play a large role. We are not always discussing the tests, but my CMT and I are very pushed for time. He and I both try to think of ways to implement technology and interesting activities, but with how…"

Joe Bergman replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"John, I'm teaching abunch of sophmores in American history, However, I have also been allowed to jump in and teach a couple of Geography lessons on the Middle East to Freshmen all the way up through seniors. The Geography class is integrated…"

John Kominek replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"Interesting feedback. I am somewhat surprised at how many posters are in a similar situation that I am in. With the constant debates on standardized tests in the classroom, I kind of had the impression that standardized tests were omnipresent in the…"

Theodore Bogar replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I am placed with sophomores in US Studies, getting ready to take the OGTs this coming March. My teacher and I do a lot to prepare students for them. Though I give them a number of writing assignments, the chapter tests are multiple choice so that…"

Grant Rohlfer replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"John I am in the same situation as you are. I just teach juniors and seniors, plus I only teach elective classes (economics and sociology). That being said, standardized tests obviously don't have a very large impact on projects and the use of…"

Brett Mills replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I am placed in the same school as John with the same circumstances. I also have been teaching seniors only, with no place for standardized tests. It is one aspect of teaching I feel like I have not been a part of yet due to my placement. Obviously…"

John Kominek replied to Ana's discussion ChaCha your way through the OGTs??? in the group BGSU Methods
"At my school site, cell phones are to be turned off within the building. I feel that telling students to have their phones off and watching them vigalently during the test does enough to prevent this sort of cheating. I have used chacha before, and…"

Lauren Trombley replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I can definitely say in my classroom that the standardized tests play a HUGE role in what we get to. I teach 9th grade physical science so the big OGT is right around the corner for these students. Often times my CMT and I are planning lessons and…"

Robert Murray replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"One of the many reasons why I love being a world language teacher is that we have so much freedom when designing lessons. It is nice to know that I will never have to teach to a test. There are national tests that students can take for world…"

Kristen Harter replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"World Language teachers don't have to teach to the test, which leaves lesson planning wide open. I haven't had to reference any standardized testing and the only thing I've heard thus far had to do with the day half my sophomores were…"

Mandolyn Grattan replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"John, Will you be teaching at any other level during your student teaching period? While a part of me understands your fear of missing out on an experience, another part of me wants to tell you to enjoy this year of freedom. You have time to…"

Alana Gurry replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"Hmm... this is a very interesting question. For my part, I have to say I haven't really given much thought to that, as I'm working with 7th graders right now, and as far as I know they're not taking any standardized tests this year.…"

Leslie Mans replied to John Kominek's discussion Tech Integration and Standardized Tests in the group BGSU Methods
"I am in the same situation, I have advanced placement seniors and standardized testing does not seem to have impacted how my classroom is managed in either a negtive or positive sense. They seem as if they are formalities that are forgotten once the…"
