Question 1

A teacher uses a flipped classroom model. What is the PRIMARY role of technology in this approach?

Accepted Answer

Delivering direct instruction outside class so in-class time is used for application

Answer

In a flipped classroom, technology (typically video lectures) delivers content at home, freeing class time for hands-on practice.

Question 2

Which scenario BEST illustrates the 'Augmentation' level of the SAMR model?

Accepted Answer

Students type an essay using a word processor with spell-check enabled

Answer

Augmentation replaces a traditional task (handwriting) with technology that adds a functional improvement (spell-check), but the task itself hasn't changed.

Question 3

A teacher wants to differentiate instruction using technology. Which strategy is MOST effective?

Accepted Answer

Using adaptive learning software that adjusts difficulty based on individual student performance

Answer

Adaptive learning platforms personalize content and pacing to meet diverse learner needs, making them a powerful differentiation tool.

Question 4

Which of the following is an example of asynchronous online communication in a classroom context?

Accepted Answer

Students posting responses to a discussion board that peers read and reply to later

Answer

Asynchronous communication does not require participants to be online at the same time; discussion boards are a classic example.

Question 5

A teacher wants to teach students to code. Which approach BEST introduces computational thinking to beginners?

Accepted Answer

Block-based coding platforms such as Scratch that use visual drag-and-drop programming

Answer

Block-based environments like Scratch lower the barrier to coding by allowing students to focus on logic and sequencing without syntax errors.
