Reminders Accept or Run all Java pop-up screens Enable Java Pop-ups from Pearson Turn computers on prior to testing in case there are any updates that need to install. It saves time to have TestNav login screen up when students arrive Run Check Your System tab tool on a minimum of one model of each test device. Run Testing Capacity tab tool wirelessly in same location that students will test Run Testing Capacity tab test several times during the day System Check doesnt work on Chromebooks or iPads Run capacity test using a laptop wirelessly to simulate chromebook results If possible have a couple extra computers in room as back up

Questions from Google Docs Registration Form Will there be a sample schedule on how to implement the test across grade levels with times and places? – Accountability & Research guidance hardware/ie., will iPads work etc – see slides 9 & 10 for hardware and software iPads need wired keyboards Chromebooks need management pack Access points being able to handle everything – Run Testing Capacity test Java updates? – More information pending Just worried about java and bandwith – Run Testing Capacity test

If the test have audio for kids to listen to if so i need to know. - This year only students using text to speech will need headphones Wireless connectivity being bumped up for available internet connectivity – 1. Recommend limiting streaming during testing 2.Direct internet access only during student login process then proctor caching 3.Recommend staggering students logging in Java and Flash upgrades with generic school logins – Not common to all schools, IT researching All equipment needs including mice, earphones and other accessories. - Consider mice for laptops – drag and drop on test Logistics around setting up & administering at the site – Setting up site tech/IT responsibility; administering SAC responsibility Questions continued
