EDUC 607 - Digital Alternatives To Test Prep

3 Credits

In the high-stakes testing environment of NCLB, much valuable instructional time is used for the purpose of preparing students for standardized tests. As a result, meaningful learning with technology often takes a back seat to paper-pencil test preparation exercises or technology-based drill and practice. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate how teachers can create meaningful learning experiences that also prepare students to do well on standardized measures of achievement. This course will utilize digital learning tools that focus on inquiry, process and real-world relevance. (Three credits; Summer of Even-Numbered Years; R. Ziegenfuss.)
