Technology in the Classroom #2

On Wednesday in my practicum I saw the students using the computers in the room to take accelerated reader tests. These are tests based on the books they read and they collect points from every test. The points are used to buy items from the accelerated reader store. I like that I am seeing the students be independent on the computers. They know how to work this program fairly well. I did accelerated reader when I was in elementary school so it was kind of neat to see that it is still being used. I am familiar with this program so I will be able to help these students and my own students some day if it is still in use.
