    Test Me, Score Me authoring program
    Individual Modules Supported by Test Me, Score Me

    This authoring program can revolutionize what we know about what students have learned. How many times have we said, "I know he knows that information. I know he does. He just can't tell me." Test Me, Score Me can solve this dilemma. Create tests with yes/no or multiple-choice answers. Use pictures, movies, text and speech. Use items that are familiar to the student, or use new items to check for generalization. Set up the questions, ask them, and then let the computer keep score of the answers. Individual modules cover teach me to talk, American history, science (habitats and earth), functional foods, early learning basic and advanced concepts, and nouns (initial, medial, & final sounds and blends).
