Interpretation
Technology facilitators must work to ensure that technology used to assess students is used responsibly. This means that the assessment techniques are appropriate to the task, and the assessments in fact assess what they are intended for, that they are "valid" in test-speak. Technology facilitators also have a responsibility to identify the misuse of technology in assessment and speak out when misuse occurs.

This paper addresses the use of a relational database to analyze the Chicago Benchmark Assessment, and to create teacher-friendly worksheets to use the data in the classroom.

In the paper I argued that it was often difficult to transform test data into actionable data, and the worksheets were an attempt to make the data actionable. The paper also includes an attempt to correlate CMBA data with ISAT SAT 10 percentiles.
 * Rationale**

The standard
Educational technology facilitators apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies. Educational technology facilitators:

 A. Apply technology in assessing student learning of subject matter using a variety of assessment techniques. Candidates:
 * 1) model the use of technology tools to assess student learning of subject matter using a variety of assessment techniques.
 * 2) assist teachers in using technology to improve learning and instruction through the evaluation and assessment of artifacts and data.

 B. Use technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning. Candidates:
 * 1) guide teachers as they use technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

 C. Apply multiple methods of evaluation to determine students' appropriate use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity. Candidates:
 * 1) assist teachers in using recommended evaluation strategies for improving students' use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity.
 * 2) examine and apply the results of a research project that includes evaluating the use of a specific technology in a PK-12 environment.
