  34. Explore Session Practice using TRAILS • Create a TRAILS account. • Explore the available tests. • Explore the wiki and lesson plans. • Develop ideas for how to use TRAILS this school year (or increase use): • Make a plan that includes: who to test; which assessments to use (full, pre/post, categories); how to use data; target audience for results. • Use the Information Literacy Group in the KBC and/or join the wiki to continue sharing ideas.
