]]> 2020-03-30 21:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483235001 I wonder how this test administration will alter the way CB "does" test design in the future.

We stop at Period 7. Planning a strategy to take advantage of this opportunity. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483390951 What worries me? Students might think they have time to surf the internet to get answers.

]]> 2020-03-31 00:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483390951 I am excited about the AP review videos on YouTube. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483430782 I am worried about students losing motivation.

I am worried that I won't be able to support them as much as I usually can because of this distance learning.]]> 2020-03-31 02:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483450040 It makes me glad that my students will still be given a chance to demonstrate all the hard work they have put in this semester. zoannedifonzo https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/483460305 I am worried that the stress of the current events could weigh heavily on their ability to work

Will it help to boost scores for my student population? Will allow them to feel less intimidated by the test because they can take it from home?
What worries me is thinking about how many students might not have the same access to internet and technology to complete this test from home...or even the space at home to focus on taking it.]]> 2020-03-31 16:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/484866025 Excite: For those students up for the 'challenge' ...to demonstrate the their skills with the new CED. melissalizarraga https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/484974484 Worry: Disengagement.

I am not worried, but encouraged by the endless stream of resilience and strength we are all showing to and with our students as we march forward toward our shared goal.

]]> 2020-03-31 22:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485499656 I am exited about the fact that our students will be given the opportunity to take the AP Exams despite the circumstances we're facing. They will have the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and talents. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485531393 2020-03-31 22:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485531393 I am worried that they will not do well given the fact that they didn't finish acquiring the classroom instruction they need to do well. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485533840 2020-03-31 22:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485533840 Excited/Worried https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485547239 I'm excited to see what anti-plagerism chemistry questions they come up with! I'm very interested to find out what topics they choose for a 45 minute test.
I'm worried about student access to the internet. And will the exam by asychronous? I know many students are working late at night right now because that's the only quiet time they have to study.]]> 2020-03-31 23:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485547239 What excites me is that students will feel like this course was not "wasted." They will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and give it a shot amidst this unfortunate global issue we are dealing with. 2. What worries me is the individual at-home situation for all my students. Not all of my students have the mental, emotional, and physical (head)space to truly focus on this exam even if they want to give it their all. I am worried that they will get their hopes up and yet their abilities will be dimmed due to the setting in which they will take their exam. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485588969 2020-04-01 00:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485588969 What excites me is my students demonstrating mastery of units 1-7 through an FRQ. What worries me is attempts at plagiarism going un-monitored. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485599234 2020-04-01 00:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485599234 Excited/Worried https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485619360 What excites me is that my students will still be able to take their AP exams. What worries me is that they might lose motivation since they are by themselves and/or the chance to cheat.]]> 2020-04-01 00:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/485619360 I'm Excited that my students will be able to have the time they need to take the AP test, but I'm worried they will lose their edge without being in the classroom. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/486615320 2020-04-01 13:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/486615320 Opportunity / Learning Curve johnwalker11 https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/486726543 It is exciting that my students are still able to have the opportunity to take the exam. I also am excited that they only have a 45 minute exam as opposed to the 3 hour exam which intimidates students.

I am concerned however about students losing time trying to upload their work for the FRQs. This is not something we have practiced in class and it may be a learning curve for them. Particularly in math where they are writing down their responses and may be drawing graphs, or writing complex equations - this is something students will need to write out. ]]> 2020-04-01 14:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/486726543 https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/487241484 I am excited that the students will be able to take the test.

Also, I'm really going to miss AP Reading this summer. :(]]> 2020-04-01 18:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/487418922 HMM https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/487453482 I'm excited that it's one FRQ which is a lot less stress and time for students. I'm worried that the focus of students will wane up to taking this exam and that all the hardwork will be for not--no safety net of doing well on another section.

I feel testing from home will help some of my students with anxiety. I hope students take advantage that this test is shorter and open note/open book. I'm worried there will be issues with connectivity and I can't review in person with my students. https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/487674824 2020-04-01 20:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/chynes8/wi5jjheks59t/wish/487674824 I am excited that our dedicated AP students will still get the opportunity to demonstrate their learning this year.
