Heat Mapping Student Testing Processes

With 14 years of experience in education and a background in web design, I explore the evolution of online standardized testing from 2005 to present. This analysis incorporates innovative heat mapping technology to track student engagement during assessments, shedding light on reading comprehension and student accountability. By utilizing this visual tool, educators can identify areas of focus for reluctant readers and improve their instructional practices. Join me in examining the impact of heat mapping on student outcomes and explore practical tips for implementation.
