Today Erin and I decided to make it official . . by going in on a family plan for our cell phones. While we were at it, we got new phones. She upgraded from the Droid Eris to the THUNDERBOLT. I upgraded from an iPhone 3G to . . . THE THUNDERBOLT!!!!
This thing is pretty damn awesome so far. Definitely happy I finally switched to Android. Also kinda sad that the 4G speed is pretty much faster than our cable internet. haha

" 'Light Pen' Great aid in Assessing Exams
Imagine a way of assessing examinations that would provide students with a certificate in just 20 minutes and examiners with results, including rankings on a chosen distribution curve, even faster.
When the process used to take two to three months, the productivity saving sounds too good to be true.
But since Dr Peter Pfister and his colleagues working in the Institute of Behavioural Science addressed a problem which had grown out of hand, this quantum leap in psychological ability testing has become a reality.
Their ‘light pen’ tests have the capacity to save the most precious commodity of all – time. And not just within the University.
In 1982, Dr Pfister, a senior lecturer in Psychology, was approached by an engineering company which had offered about 20 apprenticeships and received about 1,200 applications. How could they identify a viable number of candidates for interviews?
He devised a test battery which worked so effectively that more companies began using it and candidates taking ‘the University Test’, as it became known, reached 3,500 a year.
‘We ha 52 high schools and 10 CES offices sending kids along’ he said. ‘It was almost a community-based project. The companies paid for materials, but all the assessment was done with volunteer labour. It was taking thousands of hours of work.’
In 1989, when Dr Pfister was on leave, the test was not conducted and its absence highlighted the invaluable community role it had created.
So this year, with a $90,000 grant from the NSW Education and Training Foundation, Dr Pfister set out ways of reducing the time involved.
With help from the Hunter Technology Group and Newtech Computers, they bought a number of ‘light pen’ – the same ones used to red bar code in a supermarket.
Dr Pfister, Dr Don Munro, another senior lecturer, and Ms Kerrie Shannon, a lecturer in Psychology, joined with Richard Dear, 2 programmers form University Computer Services, to create an ability test battery where the answers could be indicated by running a light pen across bar code.
‘It’s just like running a pencil line through an answer, expect this is a line of light. No keyboards, no screens. We’ve already started using it and it appears to take one or two minutes for candidates to get the hang of the pen.’
Just the same for the candidate, perhaps, but answers are recorded instantly and, though matrix processing, the individual’s results are ranked instantly on a standard distribution curve for the appropriate age and sex within the reference group.
Dr Pfister is at pains to stress that his group’s new use for an existing technology is not going to replace other forms of assessment.
It’s not the ant’s pants: it’s just additional information. Companies will still rely on the school report and interview, but based on the ranking they can target the optimal candidates, not necessarily the people who are best intellectually but those talents are best suited to the position.
“But it’s a great step in manpower planning. Companies can start to interview at this time of year, for instance, instead of having to wait two or three months to get the results. There’s no manual processing of the tests at all.’
Obviously, the light pencil tests have potentially wide application.
For a start, Dr Pfister plans to take his laptop computer and 64 light pens to centres as far apart as Grafton and Gosford to conduct tests his year, and a number of organisations which conduct multiple choice tests for various purposes have expressed early interest.
‘You can’t patent the hardware of the course, because it’s existing technology.
‘But the great thing is that the intelligent part, the design of the tests and the software, are all from within this University."

I will really have to be smart to learn to use the new IWB and the even more new-fangled slate with it! Welcome challenge, though. I want to have first-hand experience whether the IWB will live up to the interactivity claim.
