The use of technology in assessment should be implemented at all levels of education. These days, kids are learning to use modern technology at a faster pace than we ever did. We as teachers need to keep up with them. We need to enhance their learning by using any available pieces of technology. We cannot keep their motivation about learning up if all we use to teach is the boring old textbook. In my opinion, I think that when teachers use more technology in their classrooms, students seem to forget that they are being assessed because they are more intrigued with using a piece of technology to show their own personal creative side. All in all, technology makes things more interesting in the classroom not only for the students but for the teacher as well. As for the comment about electronic portfolios, go for it. This would make things much easier to read and more organized. I think that the days of copying papers and collecting papers in a binder should be done with. Electronic portfolios are much more professional looking and the students get to design them the way they want too.
