This semester I had to learn how to use a program called chalk and wire. In order to participate in the EDTPA pilot study conducted by Pearson, Queens College had all of their participants use this program. According to many of the other students in the regular MAT program they have been requiring students to use this system. So at our first meeting I felt very overwhelmed and worried that I was way behind on learning what we had to do. I'm not sure if the school set it up this way but it was extremely easy to use and navigate. There are instructions and guiding tools through out the program to help you each step of the way. I felt it was a great way to keep track of work and to help me keep things organized. I think all schools should implement this system into their education programs to collect data and keep track of students' work. Here is a link to a the website which also has a tutorial video clip to better explain what exactly chalk and wire is.
