As educational technology continues to change the face of educational contexts in the digital age, the way in which teachers can incorporate various existing online resources and applications within their everyday classroom activities deserves closer attention. In particular, it is important to explore how interactive Web 2.0 tools might be integrated into classroom-based assessment practices. This way, the efficacy of online tools and their ability to both facilitate teacher assessment practices and empower student learning can be adequately assessed. This chapter aims to explore, showcase and discuss how Web 2.0 tools can be integrated into teachers' classroom-based language assessment to get information that can be used diagnostically to adjust teaching and learning with reference to current literature, explore challenges and focus on suggestions and avenues for further research. Furthermore, examples of web tools that could be used for formative assessment will be briefly enlisted.

This paper analyses some aspects of the development of educational technology in the last twenty years in Argentina. The author considers that this subject has the same problems as the educational system: continuity absence, incoherence, a trend to simplification and a prevalence of quantitative answers. In order to show this reality, the author describes and analyses some experiences that cover different aspects of the subject. All of them were educational proposals of digital technologies and the paper shows them with their problems and failures.La tecnología educativa en la Argentina de los últimos veinte años comparte dificultades que coexisten en los diversos sectores del sistema educativo: segmentación, falta de continuidad, incoherencia y tendencia a la simplificación dentro de un paradigma de respuestas cuantitativas a los problemas que se presentan, lo que impide alcanzar niveles de calidad. Para mostrar esta realidad, este autor opta por analizar un conjunto de experiencias con sus correspondientes datos, que cubren diversas facetas de las tecnologías digitales en la Argentina, con sus fracasos y discontinuidades.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand students’ perceptions of using asynchronous on line discussion as a learning tool. Six pre-service teachers who took a course in educational technology applications for secondary grades at a Rocky Mountain region mid-sized university were selected to be interviewed. Phenomenological data analysis was used to analyze the interview data. The interviewees’ perceptions of the asynchronous on line discussions centered around purposes, group size, tools for learning, advantages/disadvantages, and the instructor’s role. The findings of this study provide instructors with helpful information on how students perceive asynchronous online discussion and also provide instructors with possible interventions to enhance students’ motivations for participating in asynchronous online discussion.
