The good news: It doesn't take as much time and practice as you might think to prepare for these tests by utilizing technology in the classroom.

What it does require is a techie mindset: An acceptance that technology is part of the daily academic landscape, that it be integrated into assignments, practice, modeling, homework, assessments, projects, portfolios, grading rubrics, expectations. Here, I'll focus on “practicing basic tech skills.” Learning isn’t as one-way as we tend to think. Our goal-setting teaching strategies to pass along to your students.
