Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
As student tests move online, keyboarding
enters curriculum
Even though sway and touch are becoming the
standard process to use tech gadgets such as smartphones, tablet and some PCs,
keyboard typing can’t be missed for colleges and careers. Accordingly, instead
of just choosing correct answers, students are now required to answer
open-ended questions by typing a minimum of three pages in a single sitting in
the 6th year in elementary school in most of the states in the U.S.
The higher the tasks are, the more thinking
is needed. That itself is a much more challenging task than just choosing
correct answers on paper, which isn’t a common practice in college or at work.
Then, students must be able to operate an assigned machine, software and/or app
properly to answer the questions. Sounds quite reasonable, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading and learning what education
should provide to students for their future.
