Puzzled......

I am having a dilemma. My students are performing unusually high on my tests (the same tests that I have given in the past) and I am not sure why. I know they are not cheating....I watch them like a hawk! I am not sure what is happening. Are my tests too easy for this generation of sophomores? Am I teaching too low on the taxonomy? Is the use of the technology and more pictures making that much of a difference? I am at a loss. I talked to S. Russo about this the other night and she recommended that I consistently give pretests before each new unit. She thought this would help me assess the difference in learning between units that include technology projects and units that do not, as well as, provide valuable/measurable feedback regarding the effectiveness of the PTL grant resources/increased use of technology in the classroom in general.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation?
