Technology skills assessment

It's a new semester with new people. ENow strap yourself in for some exciting times. Two small pieces of advice first though...

  1. Read ALL the instructions before you start ANYTHING (it hurts less that way)
  2. Read the instructions again

Got it? Great!
Now, we are super interested in what you know. (There's nothing worse than someone telling you how to do something that you already know how to do, right?) So with this in mind, before we get started, everyone's going to do a "pre-assessment". But before everyone gets all up tight, wait till you find out what it's for. This is good assessment!
You're going to take the Tech Skills Assessment on Atomic Learning to figure out what sort of things you know. Based on the results you get an idea of the things you're good at and the things you need to work on. Atomic Learning; then directs you to learning activities and projects that best suit you. So if you're a full on "tech-web-geek machine" (like us) you get pointed to some of the hard core tricky stuff and if you're just starting out you get pointed to the "just show me how to get the job done" stuff.
I told you it was good assessment!
Then later on, once you're done, you can test yourself out again to see how you're going.

Let's do it!


  1. Read all the instructions BEFORE YOU YOU DO ANYTHING

  2. Find out how to take screen shots, you will need this later

  3. Hit the Atomic Learning site

  4. Log in (blank boxes up the top of the page) - see your teacher for username and password

  5. Hit the "Tech Skills Assessment" button on the right hand side (like the picture)

  6. Click on the big blue button to "start the test"

  7. For name and ID put your student number followed by your surname, first name and home group (i.e. 12345 PAVAROTTI Luciano 7ABC)

  8. The test will take you about 50 minutes

  9. When you finish you will get assessment results and recommendations. Take a screen shot of the results and recommendations and email it to you teacher (I told you you'd need it didn't I?)

  10. Give yourself a pat on the head for reading all the instructions now go back to Step 2 and get cracking! There's 48 questions to complete so don't muck around or you'll be there all day.
