Which instructional model involves students learning foundational content through technology at home and using class time for collaborative, hands-on application?
Answer: Flipped classroom
The flipped classroom inverts the traditional model — students watch video lectures or digital content at home (content delivery) and spend class time on active application, discussion, and problem-solving with teacher support.
SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) is a framework for:
Answer: Assessing the level to which technology transforms teaching and learning
SAMR describes four levels of technology integration — from substitution (tech replaces without change) to redefinition (tech enables tasks previously impossible) — helping teachers reflect on how meaningfully technology transforms learning.
Digital citizenship education primarily teaches students to:
Answer: Use technology responsibly, safely, ethically, and effectively
Digital citizenship encompasses responsible and ethical use of technology — including online safety, privacy, cyberbullying prevention, copyright, digital footprint, and media literacy.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) applied to educational technology means:
Answer: Selecting technology tools that provide flexibility and multiple means of access for diverse learners
UDL in technology means selecting tools that provide multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement — making digital learning accessible to students with varied abilities, learning styles, and needs.
A teacher uses a student response system (clickers or an app like Kahoot or Poll Everywhere) to check understanding during a lesson. This is an example of technology supporting:
Answer: Formative assessment through real-time data collection
Student response systems allow teachers to quickly assess the entire class's understanding in real time — giving every student a voice and providing immediate formative data to guide instruction.
Which concern about technology integration in education is MOST supported by research on equitable access?
Answer: The digital divide — unequal access to devices, reliable internet, and technical support among student populations
The digital divide describes inequitable access to technology and internet connectivity that often correlates with socioeconomic status, geography, and race — creating barriers to equitable learning when schools rely on technology without addressing access disparities.
