Resources 1. @http://gnowledge.com/ Test creation site 2. Tech & Learning Top 100 sites of 2011 @http://www.techlearning.com/Default.aspx?tabid=67&EntryId=3467

Strengths 1. FREE 2. #2 on Tech & Learning's Top 100 sites of 2011 3. Teachers can make tests to share with students. 4. Students can also make tests to share with peers. 5. Available timer function 6. You can search and use tests made by other teachers. 7. Videos available to explain how to use the site. 8. Students have to login and provide an email address, so no anonymous users. Weaknesses 1. There isn't a test question bank, you would have to make your question from scratch. 2. If you use someone else's test, you would have to proofread it first to verify no mistakes. 3. High potential for cheating.

Opportunities 1. Great tool to diagnose differentiated instruction needs. 2. Students can challenge each other. 3. You can network with other teachers.

Threats 1. Possible cheating, I would use it as an informal assessment tool.

Ideas for the Classrooms 1. Students can collaborate to design tests for their class. 2. Students can network with other students across the world in the same subject area. 3. Teachers can design common assessments. 4. Possibilities are endless.
