Lesson 7: Evaluation of Technology Learning

   The standard student evaluation of learning must change.

   This is justified by the fact that not only has the new generation changed into digital learners, but the traditional world has metamorphosed into a digital world. 

   Teachers must adopt a new mindset both for instruction and evaluation.Evaluation must be geared to assessment of essential knowledge and skills so that learners can function effectively, productively and creatively in a new world. It must use evaluative tools that measure the new basic skills of the 21st century digital culture, namely: solution fluency, information fluency, collaboration fluency, media fluency, creativity fluency and digital citizenship.

   These six influences reflect process skills. On the other hand,   the change in evaluation approach is referred to as mass Amateurization , a term which implies a mass reach of student outputs.

   Evaluation and assessment go together. Evaluation must agree with the assessment done with the students inside the classroom. As the way of teaching and learning changes to adopt the technological advancement happening with the educational system, evaluation also changes, and that is what this chapter is all about.
