Technology brings new opportunities into the classroom, with new resources and the ability to create new products. Students can demonstrate competencies in more ways than ever. Students can easily create videos, infographics, or even websites as long as they have instruction in using these platforms. This allows for differentiation of products, and students to create concrete examples of learning. The internet allows for students to encounter more real-world knowledge, examples, and problems when they are learning, which increases engagement and extends competency to outside the classroom. This can also be applied to products, where students create something that has an effect outside the classroom. It is important when giving assessments online, that the focus remains on the learning goals. It is easy to get side tracked in the wonders of technology, so the teacher and students must keep the learning goals as the main focus.
