The Best Learning

Here's a great quote from an article about tech labs at MIT.  I think it illustrates the best kind of learning --

The students work essentially as partners with their teachers, and together they have produced technological innovations that often seem touched by magic, from the e-reader to the lifelike robotic prosthesis now in development.

But how can you have a nice little standardized test to measure something like that?  You can't.  Just like you can't measure the best learning.

But let's keep adding tests to our curriculum.  Brilliant idea.
