“A game-changer in terms of technology”

Feb142013

We’ve been working with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education, school divisions, communities and educational consultants over the past two years to pilot and implement a holistic language assessment for early learners in Saskatchewan. This week, the assessment was featured in a column in the Leader Post, talking about the innovative nature of the program.

“We had no idea that by the end of it we’d have a puppet who interviewed kids,” Miller said.

“It’s really a game-changer in terms of technology, and we’re working on what other kinds of technologies we can build into learning.”

Read the article about the assessment to find out more about how it’s being integrated into schools, and the impact it’s having.  You can also learn more about the theory behind the assessment in Jarrett Laughlin’s most recent bv02 blog post, and read our case study related to our work on the Help Me Tell My Story assessment.
