before students get to the end of class. Both assessments are necessary because it allows teachers
to have the ability to assess the students from beginning to end. Technology can be used to gather
data and develop feedback to ensure the success of the student. Teachers can use computers and
other electronic devices to be able to assess students through interaction along with monitoring.
Teachers can also use computerized testing at the end of the instruction which allows grading to
be done right away (Means, B., 2000).
Technology is a great tool for teachers to use with students in the classroom and not just
for assessments but whether teachers should use technology just for assessments or on a regular
basis is a matter of opinion. Teachers need to use efficient tools and assessments to gather data
about each student in their classroom but also need to have a personal connection. Teachers can
find ways to use technology in their classrooms but not rely on it technology to do the teaching
for them. Students still need to be able to interact with others and the teacher. Clickers are a great
way to for teachers to be able to interact with students and provide immediate feedback (Stiggins,
R., 1997).
The importance assessment technology in the ISTE standard ensures that all teachers are
prepared and exhibits knowledge, skills, and disposition that allows them to teach technology
applications in the classroom. These set of standards also demonstrate the effective use of
technology to support student learning of the content where teachers can provide basic technical
support when needed. Teachers have to be able to help students when using different electronic
devices and be able to use these tools to have the ability to connect with their students in a
modern way (Zemelman, S., & Daniels, H., & Hyde, A., 1998).
