Tequipment: Blogging About SMART Boards, Resources, Lessons, Training, Games

We recently posted some state assessments to the ERC. All of these are intended for use with the SMART Response system. This got us thinking, “Isn’t there an easier way to create a quiz/test/survey than doing it all in Notebook?”

Thanks to some intrepid explorers from the Mexico Academy and Central School, we’ve found that there is indeed.

New York State tests are often formatted so that numbers represent both questions and answer choices. However, both Senteo 2 and Response use the A B C D format for answer choices. Fortunately, Notebook will recognize answer choices formatted as (1) and (2) and change them into A B choices.

What this means is you’ll be able to copy and paste specific questions from tests, and with minimal formatting, turn these into Response assessments. Be sure to check out the linked Word document demonstrate this. It uses questions from the 2008 8th grade science test.
