A nice idea, but they'll likely spend far too much time trying to decide. If students require a color change on their screen do to an accommodation, this can be manually changed on each computer screen.
Also, "oriental" seems like a terrible choice to name a color option]]> 2017-11-07 16:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204440375 https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204442745 Expected to have a deep understanding of concepts to ensure students effectively understand the material through the use of multiple question and answer strategies

Students might become overwhelmed by the amount of information and the wording of the questions. Students should have the ability to practice with this so they are aware of the resources they have to use and how to use and access them.]]> 2017-11-07 16:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204449216 https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204450988 The length of the test and the variety of resources could overwhelm some students.

The information is extremely specific and requires a great deal of background knowledge across content areas.

We need to spend time to develop similar questions that prepare our students for the MISA. We also need to cultivate better readers and teach them how to look for relevant information from the tabs that will help them on the questions. ]]> 2017-11-07 16:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204456953 https://padlet.com/brown_paula/8w24fsekqcoh/wish/204457766
