How is assessment different in a technology rich teaching environment?
- Knowledge is at fingertips
- Connectedness offers authentic assessment in the form of real world feedback from others than the teacher
- Digital portfolios allow for reflection of a body of work overtime
Think- what are ways that you assess now? Are they preparing students for the future or just to memorize info for the next isolated testing experience?
