Roy Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:48:02 +0000 http://blogush.edublogs.org/?p=167#comment-385 Someone asked me last week when was the last time as an adult I had to take a test with absolutely no resources or the web for help? The answer was I haven’t had to in ten years. Why when in real life we hardly take tests are they the default mode for demonstrating learning in schools? We reward those who have great short term memories at the expense of measuring actual learning.

It does make it hard when you try to hold them to the expectations that they remember it tomorrow and beyond. That just tells me I need to do a better job of helping them learn it rather than remember it.
