Have You Tried Drag and Drop Assessment Questions?
Let’s face it, even though digital learning doesn’t really seem new to many of us, especially if you are an Edulastic user, it still represents an uncharted frontier in Education. At Edulastic, we have quite a few “pioneer” teachers willing to embrace the technology and try the spectrum of question types. Admittedly it takes time to explore the different question types and convert your assessments to new digitized versions—especially when it could be quicker to simply use the classic multiple choice types and call it done. But, thanks to some of our ELA and Social Studies teachers, the way has been paved for you.
We have selected a few assessments for you that represent a wide variety of question types. We like these “explorer-themed” assessments particularly for their use of the Drag and Drop style of question. If you haven’t tried a Drag and Drop, consider it for one of your fall assessments. It showed up on both PARCC and SBAC spring test forms.
