The Galileo K-12 online testing interface offers students an experience similar to what they will encounter when taking state-wide assessments. For example, Galileo K-12 includes a wide range of testing and/or accommodation tools that can be enabled for test takers. Testing tools include the Merriam-Webster dictionary and thesaurus, multiple types of calculators, flag for review, highlighter, strikethrough, as well as item-related tools such as a compass, ruler, straightedge, and protractor. Accommodation tools that may be scheduled as needed include text-to-speech, pause test, summary screen, and zoom capability. Additional testing tools (e.g., line reader) are currently under development and scheduled for release in the coming months. Launching in a few weeks, students will notice minor changes to the new colorful look of the online testing interface. These changes will contribute to a pleasant user experience while keeping the same functionality.
Several searchable resources are available in the Galileo Help Files including step-by-step instructions, video tutorials, and manuals. To easily schedule universal testing tools for assessments, access the professional development quick reference guide.
