How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?
I cannot imagine not using technology now in assessing student performance. Responders are an awesome tool that supplies instant feedback (formative assessment) on either "traditional" testing or even verbal questions thrown out to the class to guage opinions on a topic. Blogging, discussion topics, Voicethreads, Google Docs, etc. can all be used in Assessment. Obviously even Acuity is a very powerful tool for providing not only assessment but the means to analyze the assessment.
Technology just opens a huge door for assessment beyond the traditional paper and pencil assessment. Technology allows for more authentic assessment that engages students and makes the learning all the more relevant to them.
