Many of today’s students have access to computers, cell phones and many other forms of technology at home. Teachers can use these same forms of technology to help students learn.Technology can contribute to almost any lesson, and make learning more engaging for students. A great advantage of technology in the classroom is that it opens students up to more experiences and allows them opportunities they may not otherwise not have.  For example, students can experience places and events throughvirtual museums and interactive video. In addition, technology can also help students make connections to their own world and open their eyes to different ideas and cultures. In short, technology is an invaluable classroom tool that can among the previously mentioned, also allow for student assessment. Online resources provide a wealth of alternative assessments and technology based assessment project that can be used in most content areas.
