Producing technology has proven to be a help in the education sector. Technology has now become the teaching and learning dynamic of the twenty-first century and will begin to expand beyond this point. Technology has provided the education sector with tools that will aid in teaching and learning, but through software it can support classroom assessment. This proposal will present the difference between formative and summative assessments by providing an understanding of how technology can be used to facilitate both assessments. The proposal will also present ways in which technology facilitates ongoing efforts to assess student learning. Technology also provides pros and cons to learning and this will be discussed to make the final decision whether teachers should use technology only to assess student learning. There are two types of assessments that teachers can use to gather relevant information about students, these are formative and summative assessments. Each assessment has a detailed objective for achieving tasks, objectives and goals. Formative assessments provide the teacher with ways to integrate a distinct learning process that will achieve a preferred outcome. Tuttle, 2011, states that formative assessments are the process of helping students move immediately from presented diagnostic learning to desired learning objectives. This means that formative assessments should be used regularly as a tool throughout the teaching process to support high-quality learning. This type of assessment can be provided through technology, for example, in the autistic classroom, where I assist: the Smart Board has specific software for children with special needs to facilitate learning and the educational axis..... . half of the paper.... ..s understand different evaluation approaches. However, it is necessary for teachers to understand the positive and negative aspects of technology, to enlighten the teacher that technology should not be the only source for assessments.
