Competency-based training and technology

With regards to competencies using technology I believe student mastery of visual and digital literacy is very helpful. Armed with this knowledge students can be encouraged to produce projects that make use of collages, videos and virtual games that improve critical thinking. With so many apps available students can be encouraged to produce assignments using media platforms to generate digitized comic art and stories, data visualization using infographics and Prezi as suggested by teachthought.com.
Competency based assessment usually works well when professionals from different fields are enlisted to support teachers in the classroom. While some schools do this informally, it is best when formally the Education ministry formally enlists the help of these professionals to help both to mentor and build the skills of students. I see this working best in  technical and vocational education as well.
