Summary:New forms of learning achievement are being made possible by the introduction of computers and multimedia into classroom activities. With proper planning, it is possible to improve the cultural responsiveness of instruction while addressing students' attainment of critical subject matter and curriculum standards. This article describes several instructional activities that allow students to express their own cultural heritage through the development of World Wide Web pages and video dramatizations of important historical events and personages. These activities raise the possibility of innovative performance assessments that are suited to new forms of achievement.
