This tool is designed to help you easily record assessment data for the Benchmark Assessment System or for any other assessed readings. You can record data manually or send it wirelessly from the Reading Record App. But the system s greatest value is in its data-sorting capabilities and in its graphical representations of data, which help you analyze individual progress and gain insight into larger trends in the classroom. Let s take a look at the interface. Navigation Along the left side of every ODMS screen is the main navigation area that delineates the three major sections of the system. Mouse over the area to reveal the section names: Assessments, Reports, and Manage. In these sections, as a teacher user, you can record assessments, view reports, and manage the makeup of your own classes. Page 1 of 7
