Abstract

The use of technology in classrooms is influenced by teacher attitudes. This is particularly true about classroom elements relating to teacher assessment. The issue with technology and assessment has two parts: teachers may resist technology, and teachers may consider assessment a personal attack on their abilities rather than a constructive analysis of teaching and learning. The increasing accountability required in educational environments puts even more pressure on teachers to accept assessment and evaluation of their performance. Technology can be used to ease teachers into a stronger analysis of their own and peer evaluations, which are one key to improving teaching. Assessment must be internalized if teachers are to accept suggestions for improvement and create an environment of change.
