Our teachers used a lot of web sites that helped kids prep.
Our ESOL teachers used the smart board so kids could practice suffixes, prefixes, text features, text structures and sample test.

I made use of the clickers during the review sessions to see what areas we were struggling with and attempting to motivate student with small rewards when the class earned 100% on a question. Our school does not do testing online so that area was not a concern for us.

Our teachers used the CETE sites and many smartboard activites to help prepare their students.

We use the Cete testing. We also lookat the data from the test and target areas that need remediation. We can break kids into intervention groups by using the wonderful report we get from the CETE. We also have uses the Baip resources. We printed the lessons and have used them as resources for our intervention groups. They are great lessons and are tied to the tested standards. WE have created several smartboard activites to use during intervention with our students. We also have a list of web sites by standards for intervention use.
Our teachers have used a combination of CETE, clickers and Smart Board lessons to prep our students. We do not test online but the practice tests online were (as they always are) great at identifying weak spots on which to increase our focus.

Data from DCA, MAP, CETE, BAIP testing to target weak indicators; clickers; games - Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, Holleywood Squares; Motivation Celebration (students attended if they showed work on 90% of their problems on both the Math and Reading assessents - we gave paper/pencil); online activities; SMARTBoard activities.
