I think we are just testing or standardizing the wrong thing.
Content is no longer fixed, so no longer standard.
Process is fixed… now that we can individualize with personal learning networks via web access.
In order to validate whether or not our kids are getting an optimal learning experience in an optimal learning space.. we should be standardizing/validating:
1) access (to web, via tool of choice, during time at school)
2) process (is teacher in personal learning network)
3) connectivity (is student creating -via teacher example/facilitation- their personal learning environment)
