Assessments should measure 21st Century Skills

Hi, I believe that we must give assessments a total new spin. It is necessary to make sure that we aren't measuring by old standards but by what truly matters today,which is that new generations master 21st century skills. Therefore, it is important we find the way to include technology applications in assessments. Think of it as open books tests, where it isn't just the content knowledge that is being assessed. I recently read the document "Assessment: A call to action" download.microsoft.com/download/6/E/9/6E9A7CA7-0DC4-4823-993E-A54D18C19F2E/Transformative%20Assessment.pdf It was truly inspiring and I recommend it be read, for it focuses on the important issue of including 21 century skill assessments for overall education transformation.
