To be honest, this piece of software is really a no-brainer. Save it, then save as a web page, throw it on the web server and link it from my lesson plans and its good-to-go. What I really like about it is that I can use it to type a test, then print out the test plus the answers. I can also rearrange the questions or the answers. I've made two different tests and handed them out alternately - kids who like to sneak a peek will ask right away "Do we have different test?"
Of course I will ask "Why do you ask?" Kidding aside, I like to use these to review and many times these questions will end up on the test - so they know its best to take a look at them a little closer. As for me doing an inservice, I believe I will be having my hip replaced in the next few weeks (As soon as I pass this stupid kidney stone). So, you can imagine why I won't commit to anything at the present time plus it is a bear to get permission to go anywhere with gas prices the way they are. js > Jerry and Scott, > > First of all, Jerry.
