EOC Online Testing

Just as I posted that I had everything caught up, someone had to read my post and change things …

Our testing coordinator came to me frustrated and said we needed to test more students but we didn’t have any more days.  Which lab should we use.  I strongly suggested the one next door, told him we needed the software installed and I’d get it done if he could get someone to cover me.

Fortunately the sub arrived just at a time when I could get my special ed student out – he has to be escorted through the building by someone who has been trained.  He was upset we were going during the passing period, but I’ve been doing something that works – I tell him he’s invisible until he gets to the car. 

I finished installing the Testnav software – which is lovely software.  It reboots the computer without telling why, leaves us with the icons and no software.  That’s okay, because I need to run it and put the right address each time.  And that also ticks me off, it should put in the right address!  It often installs leaving an error message telling me to look at the log.  Do I really have time for that?  And the message in the log doesn’t tell me anything.

I started 4th period, right around 11:30, and finished just after 5:00 pm.  The power went out in the middle and I had to find a custodian to fix it.  There were three extension cords going into a single power strip.

We honestly don’t have the infrastuture to test the entire school online for EOC’s.  To do the field test, we have to kick students out of three labs, right before final exams.  Not a good time.
