test taking with technology
I too do not like to read online or using any form of technology. I just seem not to comprehend it in the same way that I do when I read an actual book. This could because I learned to read using books rather than using technology and so I think it would be interesting to see how the next generation reacts to the idea of reading using technology versus on paper.
About half way through high school, my state's standardized testing moved to computers. Rather than filling in millions of little bubbles, we took all of out tests on laptops or in computer labs. To me, this form of testing was highly frustrating and at the same time, when I picked an answer I didnt feel the same weight as when I had to fill in the bubble on the answer sheet of the previous standardized testing experiences. For me, the physical act of filling in a bubble with my answer was a lot harder to do than to click on an option on the screen. Most students seemed to finish their testing a lot faster than they previously had and I wonder whether or not that was a function of that fact that it was a lot easier to simply click through random answers on the tests on the computers than fill in the bubbles on the scantron sheets.
