How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?
Technology when relating to research has replaced the mediums through which inforamtion is exchanged and also to a larger degree how it is processed. It has made vast ammounts of information available and easily accessable (the world has becaom truly "Flat"). There is almost too much information to process. This wasn't possible in the old mediums. Access to technology is in most ways access to information.
Technology tools have led to a revolution in how students demonstrate their understanding of concepts and allowed students to exercise higher level thinking skills. Many of these tools allow students to examine critical issues from many perspectives, collaborate with peers in their classroom and around the world and finally to produce quality finished products and share them with a real and authentic audience as large or small as desired. These finsihed products and the process that goes into creating them makes for a better and deeper kinds of assessments over a long period of time.
