The Wire

Over the last year, we've experimented with lots of tools to support our Mouse Squads--we used a blog for announcements, mailing list software, and surveymonkey for surveys.  We also introduced the Mouse Squad Certified Technician program so that we could guarantee a consistent high-quality student experience--and the quizzes required for certification were paper-based.  We heard from our community --that's you-- that you wanted to be able to keep track of things online--this site, currently a beta, is our response. 

What is a beta? 

Well, it's software that's still being worked on.  The new Mouse Squad eLearning site is very much a work in progress.  Over the coming months (and years) we'll be adding content and new features.  Our goal is to make the certification curriculum come alive online--for students, teachers and trainers.  This version of the site includes the most basic features--like student quizzes for Mouse Squad Certfied Trainers but also a "Pre-Assessment" so that you can check your knowledge on a range of tech skills and then compare them when you re-take the assessment to see how you've progressed and identify areas you still want to improve. 

We're approaching building this site iteratively, which is a fancy way of saying that we're going to be making lots of little improvements over time.   We will need your help to make this site better--if you spot something that's not right, have an idea or a suggestion please send a email to [email protected]
