The K12Online Conference kicks off in just a little while with a keynote, and I am very excited to be able to view it. We have an inservice today, and our teachers will be spending the day collating and examining the disaggregated test data on all their students. Since our teachers do not have to take a yearly exam (yet, sigh – let’s not give anyone ideas!), I do not have data to analyze, but I still have to be on campus and available in case someone can’t figure out how to manipulate the excel spreadsheets that contain the data. So…I am going to use that opportunity to hook up a projector and ‘just happen’ to have the keynote playing in the lab near where the teachers are working. Hopefully I can get some ‘drive-by’ traffic to stop and listen when they’re taking breaks and looking for some relief to the mind-numbingly dull drudgery of analyzing disaggregated TAKS data.
