  Case: Technology and Assessment
With the increase of technology, students have assess to limitless information. Teachers are expected to use technology in their instruction and many have moved away from the use of textbooks in the classroom. When technology like chrome books and Google classroom are used to student assessment, how can teachers ensure the depth of knowledge of student learning, and avoid students simply hitting copy and paste to create products or to rely too heavily on available content to mask their true level of learning?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The incredible increase in access to information that modern society offers has certainly changed an educational emphasis from content knowledge to content application. Students no longer need to possess massive amounts of content specific information because that information can be looked up at the drop of a hat. Instead, learners must be able to find reliable information, analyze connections, and cite texts accurately. Assessments technologically based or otherwise, must adapt to meet these changing educational needs.

Comments: This isn't really a solution, it is more of a great explanation for the use of technology and its impact on education. How can teachers be sure students are retaining information and not just copying and pasting it and forgetting two minutes later?
