Different assessments are also great ways to provide meaningful learning experiences for students. Intriguing projects to which students can relate are a great way to assess learning, and students won't even realize they are being "tested." Technology opens many windows to assessment, and giving students the opportunity to work with forms of technology in the classroom gives them chances to learn required information with a familiar avenue (since we all know that our students probably know more than we do about technology!).

Often more than ever have I seen tests and exams being used as the only source of assessments. There are so many alternatives out there that speak to the different types of learning styles we have present in the classroom. In today's society, we really need to reach out to those who are artistic and tech-savvy. I have tried to find ways to dig into those styles in the English classroom. It may not always be easy, but I have found by giving different approaches to the assessments, the students tend to give me more of their all than being sat down with a quiz! Well written!
