Technology Literacy for Educators — Question 1

You teach a class of 20 students. Your classroom contains six computers.
You run an activity that is carried out mostly on paper.
Before the end of the activity, the students will require access to the computers.
Which lesson structure should provide the best learning experience for the students?

Answer options

• A. Create several different activities that require the computers at different stages during the lesson.
• B. Execute the computer-based portion of the activity as a class demonstration.
• C. Modify the tasks of the lesson so that only some of the students require access to the computers.
• D. Have all of the students perform the same activity and instruct the students to take turns using the computers.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is the best choice because it ensures that all students participate in the same activity while sharing the available computers, promoting collaboration and peer learning. Options A and B may lead to inefficiencies or less engagement, and option C limits computer access, which may hinder some students' learning experiences.
