Make That 13 States With Computerized Testing

computer based testing2.JPGEdWeek's Technology Counts, just out yesterday, shows that computerized testing like that Oregon was using before its troubles with Vantage Learning has been relatively slow to spread (Tracking U.S. Trends): "The number of states that offer computerized statewide assessments is relatively small, with 14 states making that opportunity available on a limited basis, such as within certain districts, or for students retaking pencil-and-paper tests. And only nine states offer computer-based testing to all students."

Make that thirteen.

Comments

I'm not sure why the map shows Virginia offering computer-based assessments for all students. That's true for high school but state has just started with with elementary standardized testing programs.
