interele Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Is anyone still using the ICT KS3 online tests now they are not compulsory Ta M
russdev Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Yes as we find them to be a good way of base lining the students.
zag Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 No, its the biggest pile of junk software I have ever encountered in education Good riddance!
interele Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 I would agree. I fail to understand what they test With that 'home made' interface, it's like taking your driving test on a bycycle and using that performance as a guide to your driving ability M
russdev Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Well thats point not meant to be testing ability to use word it is testing ability to use skills associated with word processing that is what ks3 ict is about.. Russ
djdohboy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I tell you what though, trying to run a program developed by RM on a Viglen Classlink network ...... Not Funny!!! Glad I don't have that headache any more!!!
Sylv3r Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 We did up until last year, but discussions I have had with the new head of ICT means we won't be continuing this year.
tech_guy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 We dumped it as soon as it was announced it wasn't being pursued. Biggest pile of poo I've ever come across.
SpuffMonkey Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 No, its the biggest pile of junk software I have ever encountered in education Good riddance! I take it you're not doing the ALANs stuff then
tech_guy Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Oh, I forgot....(how could I forget - perhaps because of the trauma I've erased it from my conciousness?)....ALAN..... ....the other biggest pile of poo I've come across.
Sylv3r Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 ALAN always gets stick as well as the KS3. Why does nobody slag off the Assett Languages stuff? ALAN is perfect compared to that!
kmount Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I take it you're not doing the ALANs stuff then I don't know which ones worse ...
