-Evaluation of technology learning talks about the change of evaluation and assessment approach that the teachers must use in the teaching and learning process. It has been said that the standard paper tests must change as the generation change. Assessments need to conform, not on the literacy of the past centuries but the new literacy of the 21st century. In order to acquire this, we need the hep of the new basic digital skills which we could use in the making of projects, assignments, etc.

- As education students, we are taught on how to properly assess and evaluate our students. We also are introduced to traditional and the authentic assessment and evaluation approaches. The traditional uses the common paper and pencil testing while the latter is more on a performance-based approach. The educators prefer the latter because it is what the new generation learners need and want.

- Traditional way of assessment and evaluation are not necessarily to diminished but rather to just use it when the nature calls for it. In the teaching and learning process, there is no one approach perfect in catering the diversity of the students. That is why we need to alter the things that we use in teaching depending on the purpose.

We must use the traditional and authentic way of evaluating and assessing appropriately. We must not stick to only one approach. Always remember that teachers are creative.
