I administered the pre-test to all of my students on Monday. I used the online version and I think that that was helpful. I tried to carefully explain to my students that the test would be hard and they aren't expected to know any of the answers. Because the students like to use computers, none of them shut down and stopped taking the test. A few began to quickly check "I don't know" for each one, but most of them read each question carefully and considered each answer.
Just by looking over shoulders at their work, I was able to see that we all have a LOT to learn! I will be so excited when the students pass this test at the end of this project!

You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much they'll pick up.
Thanks for doing the online version. I have a huge pile to deliver to the coding person tomorrow!
They will learn the terms over the course of the year. lmc lady is right --we did see improvement.
I really like your "we all have a lot to learn" approach. It will be fun to see the test results.
