I really think that would be up to the school and their curriculum. At my kids school, in kindergarten, they start going to the computer lab for an hour once a week and they all have computers in their classes that they use for various things.

Introducing Technology to Young Children

It really depends on the school. I would have to say that our school district do allow our student enough time. The elementary school uses notebook, iPad's and computers to take test through out the year.

Using Technology in Elementary School—Milton Hershey School

It really depends on the school and how much technology the teacher has in the classroom. My cousin teaches Kindergarten and she has laptops, iPads, iPods, a SMART Board, etc. in her classroom. If students are in a classroom that barely has technology, they will have a hard time using a computer. If students are exposed to a lot of technology in their classroom, then they will be able to take online standardized tests with no problem.

I think it just depends on the resources the school has. Kindergarten students have advantages because they are able to learn how to take these tests online, where as kids who have not had to do poorly because until the law was passed they had no access or preparation to take the standardized tests online. I personally do not find standardized tests online to be in any way effective.

I think it does depend on if that school has the availability of technology. If students practice with pencils and have no way to practice the testing on a computer then I think that they would probably be stressed when it came to test time and they had to use a computer.

I believe that technology is continuing to grow, so yes, younger students are getting the technology practice that they need in order to succeed. At my Alma Mater, each student is given a Chromebook to complete their assignments. So, with that being said, it all depends on the technology available in certain school districts.

As others have already stated, I think it depends on the school. In one district, I witnessed fourth graders practicing typing essays because they would be required to type their essays at the end of year testing. However, they were only attending typing class once a week. The school was on the right track by having the students practice writing essays, but they needed more practice with the skill of typing. We can help with this issue by providing the games with educational games focused on the technology task we want them to practice on.

If a student is practicing for standardized testing with pencil and paper, and then are given a computer to take their tests on it scares them. It is unfamiliar and they do not feel comfortable navigating it. There should be a designated time for students to be able to practice standardized testing on a computer.

I feel that it depends on the school you are teaching at. Students now a days are learning more about computers at a younger age than we did, so their competency in technology is more advanced at a young age, but if you are concerned with their ability to perform these tests on the computer, requesting more time in a computer lab could be a good option for your classroom

In my opinion, students have adjusted to technology so much that they are used to the feel of how it works. In order to determine how ready they will be for the standardized tests really just depends on how much time the teacher gives the students to work with computers and the other technologies.

I think it really just depends on the school and how often the students are required and even allowed to be on the computer. I know one of our professors has been telling us she has seen students not know how to drag and drop on these standardized tests, but I honestly have never seen that... I feel like kids are so exposed to technology these days that it may be just a small problem only for those students who aren't using that much at home.

Do students in lower grade levels get enough practice on computers to be able to successfully take the online standardized tests at the end of the year?
