"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."
Individuality is one of the things that set up apart as people. It is important as educators to ensure that we recognize the individual differences in our students including their learning disabilities and interests. Digital tools and media allow us to take a more accurate measure of students' achievement. Continuous assessment is what tells educators if re-teaching is necessary and how well the students' have mastered the content.
Multiple representations of information gives students more opportunities to access the curriculum thus giving them more opportunities to master the curriculum. The use of technology tools allow students multiple ways to express their mastery of the curriculum.
