Question 1

Which of the following BEST describes 'blended learning'?

Accepted Answer

A combination of face-to-face instruction and technology-mediated learning, with student control over time, place, or pace

Answer

Blended learning intentionally combines face-to-face and online instruction, giving students some control over the time, place, path, or pace of their learning — it is not simply adding technology to traditional teaching.

Question 2

Which of the following describes the TPACK framework for teacher technology competency?

Accepted Answer

A framework describing the intersection of technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge for effective teaching

Answer

TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) describes the intersection of three knowledge domains — teachers need technology knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, AND content knowledge to teach effectively with technology.

Question 3

A student submits an essay that appears to have been written entirely by an AI writing tool. What ethical issue does this raise regarding technology in education?

Accepted Answer

Academic integrity — using AI to produce work the student submits as their own raises questions about authenticity and learning

Answer

Submitting AI-generated work as one's own raises academic integrity concerns — the assignment's purpose is to develop the student's own thinking and writing skills, which AI circumvents.

Question 4

Which assessment approach is MOST appropriate for evaluating student digital projects (videos, websites, infographics)?

Accepted Answer

A performance rubric that evaluates both content quality/accuracy and effective use of technology conventions

Answer

Digital project rubrics should evaluate both the content/learning (did the student demonstrate understanding?) and the technology conventions (is the digital medium used effectively?) — both dimensions are instructional goals.

Question 5

A school implements a 1:1 device program where every student has a personal laptop or tablet. What is a critical factor for program success beyond the hardware itself?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing teacher professional development in technology integration pedagogy

Answer

Research on 1:1 device programs consistently shows that teacher professional development in how to use devices for meaningful learning is the most critical factor — hardware without pedagogical support yields minimal academic benefit.
