This document summarizes an assessment task given to Year 9 students that integrated technology. The task involved students creating a role play video, sources collage and bibliography, and written task. Feedback from students showed the video and collage parts were most popular while writing was less so. The feedback informed changes to improve the task, such as splitting it into two parts and providing more explicit instructions. The experience highlighted the potential of technology to engage students but also that tasks need scaffolding and connections between components clarified.
