iSkills - ICT Literacy Assessment

Princeton, N.J. (April 18, 2007) —ETS announced today that it has changed the name of its ICT Literacy Assessment to the iSkills™ assessment and is also introducing new, customizable score reports for institutions.

The iSkills™ assessment is a simulation-based test designed to measure information and communication technology (ICT) literacy, that is, a student’s ability to navigate, critically evaluate and communicate information using digital technology, communication tools and networks. During the 75-minute assessment, college and high school students are asked to perform 15 information problem-solving tasks—such as researching a topic from a database, identifying authoritative and unbiased web sites, or composing an e-mail summary of research findings.

“We selected iSkills because it is catchy, contemporary and relevant,” says Mary Ann Zaborowski, ETS’s Director of Product Management for the iSkills™ assessment. “The new name is more spirited and better reflects the nature of this very different type of assessment . . . it’s interactive and really cutting edge.”

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
