Why would we want to assess new things in old ways. We should be using the new places, spaces and tools for the assessment as well as for the learning. AND the learner should be involved in that process and assessment. The tools allow for demonstrations of understanding - so much more meaningful than just assessing knowledge.

New places, spaces and tools are essential for the new life that our children will grow into. We can't keep educating for the past. However the tools of themselves will not create better results. We need to be doing the right things with the tools and places. Effective teaching is still key! Effective teaching is creative, focused, includes the learner in the goal setting and designing pathways to get there, but also provides scaffolds and support as needed. As our learners become more effective learners they will be able to take over more of the responsibility, but just throwing them some new tools and spaces to work will just lead to superficial, mediocre "stuff" done on computers. What we need is ignition, challenge, mentoring, collaboration, feedback and modelling of reflective, ongoing learning for all - including the teachers!
