Intergrating Computer Technology into the Classroom, By Morrison and Lowther -
Overview: Coming up with assessment strategies for teachers can be tough, especially when trying to keep to keep up with the different ways to challenge students at different points during the year. In recent years, teachers have moved away from the traditional forms of assessment such as multi-choice tests to more authentic forms, like portfolios, performances, presentations and experiments. Assessments with integrated computer lessons will typically require more than a paper-and-pencil test. Self-reflection is easy for the student using a computer based assessment, as they can easily edit and change their work. Research and analysis is also better with these types of assessments and can be specific for the problems in the assignments.

This practical, how-to guide makes it easy for teachers to incorporate the latest technology into their classes. The book has an informal workshop approach, with no technical jargon.For a long time teachers have brought exciting things to class like slides, videos, technologies and other resources to help their students learn and enrich the curriculum. Usually teachers have had to rely on using text books for homework but now as the internet spreads everywhere and to most homes, other ways of completing homework and assigned tasks can be done on the net. Online homework offers the promise of including a much wider variety of readings and assignments. For the truly motivated teacher, it creates the opportunity to end the tyranny of the textbook. It can also provide persistent discussion outside the classroom and more collaboration among students after class. ======
