PARCC Readiness Activities

PARCC Readiness Activities

Welcome to the MRC Director's Tech Resources blog! The first few posts will be collections of 
technology resources that can be used to help students develop familiarity and proficiency with the tech skills they will need for the PARCC assessment. These resources include both sample assessment items and interactive online activities that practice some of the skills they may see on the PARCC assessment.
