The Audrey Test starts out well, beginning with a quick quiz testing your range of relevant knowledge and then some essay questions about the basics of educational theory - " Who is Seymour Papert?" "What is Bloom's Taxonomy?" Ah, but she should have stopped it right there. But instead, her test gets very US-centric with questions about Common Core and charter schools and "the ratio of computer to student in U.S. public schools." Related: Kin Lane suggests that Watters may be burning out. "The lack of funding for her work really reflects the ed-tech space in my opinion, where only a handful of people truly care about the space, while the majority are either just looking to sell things to the space," he writes.
