- 11. Are you surprisedthat it worked? my name is Ralph Watkins I attended your seminar at the AME conference. You sent me a few Certification Prep books I'm writing specifically about the Adobe Photoshop CS6 book. For the last three week I have been completing the questions, doing the labs and vocabulary over and over. Anyway purchased an exam voucher and took the test I received a 96 percent wow! So I'm emailing you to first tell you what an awesome book and resource you have created and secondly to say that I will be ordering class sets of the Photoshop and Dreamweaver books next year and hope to become a testing center as well, see what you have started! You do great work keep it up. Also and finally I found two errors but unfortunately I could only remember one so here it is. Lesson 2 answer 7 bitmap tracing you correctly state the definition it in the chapter but your answer in the back of the book has it backwards so check it out if you haven't already corrected it.

- 18. Why it Works! •Quick turn around – 1 to 2 weeks from start to exam • Focus on knowledge level skills – Explore all features quickly • Narrow testing deadline (this counts!) – Focus learning and accountability • Review questions are the study guide for the exam – No simulation software to memorize answers • Project based remediation – Engage all learning styles
- 19. Certification Cycle Certification Guide Review questions or Mastery Simulation Certification Testor Gmetrix Remediate and Enrich Review and Retake
- 20. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 1: Use skill building courseware – Unlike Gmetrix or other test prep, focus on teaching the skills not the test. – Use to teach the software first • Step 2: Review using the test or questions included with the guide. • Step 3: Certification test or Gmetrix • Step 4: Remediate and enrich learning using project based learning. • Step 5: Review and retake if needed.
- 21. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 1: Use skill building courseware – Unlike Gmetrix or other test prep, this teaches from no prior knowledge. – Use to teach the software first • Knowledge level learning • No prior experience or skill needed • Creates something from scratch (not templates or modification) • Authentic learning model so students can use the software from a blank page. – Works great even if you don’t give Certification Exams
- 22. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 2: Review using the test or questions included with the guide. – Use the review questions (Adobe) and end of book Mastery Simulation Post Test (Microsoft Office 2013) provided with the guides. – Adobe: Create a post test using the review questions to prep for exam. – Microsoft: Review the Mastery Simulation project to acquaint students to the exam format and answering correctly (Download from G-WLearning.com)
- 23. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 3: Certification test or Gmetrix – Give the Exam or Gmetrix practice test in Exam mode as quickly as possible to maximize retained knowledge level learning. – Use Gmetrix properly (measure, not teach) – I do not use Gmetrix prep “Learning” mode materials as they are too closely aligned to the practice exams. • Students can memorize the answers to the practice and take the Gmetrix Exam and pass it. This is not representative any learning, just memorizing. This is why so many students are failing the Certification Exam that asks different questions.
- 24.
- 25. What is Gmetrix? Gmetrixoffers: • Courseware • Practice Exams with the answers • Limited teaching as remediation lessons only • No use of the actual software from scratch • Practice Exams • Measures readiness to Certify only • “Learning” mode questions are the same as “Testing” mode questions • “Learning” mode gives them the answers • Students think they can memorize these to pass • Students fail Certification when memorized answers are NOT on the Certification Exam.
- 26. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 4: Remediate and enrich learning using project based learning. – Print out the score report from all students that took the Certification Exam. – Analyze the data to determine where students are struggling – Design projects to practice those skills

- 29. Implementing in aClassroom • Step 4: Remediate and enrich learning using project based learning. – Print out the score report from all students that took the Certification Exam. – Analyze the data to determine where students are struggling – Use project based learning (Application and Synthesis level) fun activities to support the knowledge learning in the guides. – Use integrated group projects (Cooperative Learning) to support struggling students with successful peers. All learning types included.
