Chapter 7 Concept Map
Click image to enlarge 		Key Ideas:
  • Giving the same written test to all students is neither fair nor accurate. When a single, inflexible medium is used for testing, students' skills with that medium become hopelessly confused with the skills we intend to measure.
  • Testing separately from teaching and without the supports that students normally use provides an invalid perspective on what students know and can do.
  • Digital tools and media make it possible to design ongoing assessments that support individual differences in recognition, strategic, and affective networks, giving us a more accurate measure of students' achievement in relation to the learning goal.
  • Digital curricula with embedded assessment can track progress and provide ongoing feedback to help students improve performance while they are learning.
