1. The amount of time it took to create this assessment was much greater than any other assessment given this year. Reusing questions will be easy, but creating new ones took many hours. Additionally, we used screenshots of anther document and could not find the correct place to preview the question to ensure that the images were not warped. All pictures were stretched when the students took the test.
2. I can see the value of comparing standards aligned learning across multiple teachers. The student item analysis screen also creates an easy to understand visual. The amount of time it took to create the assessment was enormous compared to a test not on PM because there are not preloaded questions aligned to standards. Therefore, I can imagine the payoff only being worth the time commitment for a few tests per year.
