Jack McMaster is the director of Education with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board and says they will be trying something different this year with some of their EQAO tests.
McMaster says they have received permission from the Ministry of Education to use computers for the writing section of the grade 6 EQAO tests.
McMaster believes the use of computers will especially help boys, who traditionally
do not perform as well in the reading and writing portion of the standardized tests.
