[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I experienced the PARCC a few years ago at a parent informational meeting, on a Chromebook, and it was Godawful. Not the questions. The interface. I chose the English test, and the text was on one side in a supposedly scrollable window, while the questions where on the other side. Scrolling through the text was very problematic, it would jump about everywhere and I couldn't easily locate the paragraphs I wanted. Since the screen on those laptops is not large, it didn't make for comfortable reading either. Then I had to click on the other side and re-locate the corresponding question. Rather frustrating and a lot of wasted time!

The MAP, on the other hand, is a comparative dream. I hope they keep it.[/quote]

The math was equally cumbersome. It was necessary to type things like fractions into an interface that made it difficult to escape from the numerator/denominator and go back to plane text.  It's easy to get distracted by the interface but the content of questions was also junk.[/quote]
