Why ICT?
What is one reason ICT can improve classroom efficiency?
(e.g. automates tasks, saves time, organises data)
What is one feature of ClassroomScreen that supports classroom routines?
(Timer, noise meter, random name picker, visual instructions)
When might a whiteboard be more effective than ICT?
When modelling step-by-step problem solving or responding spontaneously to student questions.
What was one major cause of World War I?
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 (along with militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism).
What is one benefit of using game-based platforms like Kahoot or Blooket in lessons?
They increase student engagement and motivation through competition and interactivity.
How does ICT support differentiation in the classroom?
(e.g. varied formats, accessibility tools, self-paced learning)
How can Padlet increase student participation?
(Anonymous posting, visual brainstorming, collaborative responses)
Why might ICT be inappropriate during sensitive class discussions?
Devices can distract, reduce eye contact, and limit authentic dialogue
Question: What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight?
Photosynthesis.
How can games like JeopardyLabs support formative assessment?
They check student understanding in real time and reveal knowledge gaps.
What is one risk of over-relying on ICT in lessons?
(e.g. tech failure, reduced critical thinking, distraction)
When would you use Padlet instead of whole-class discussion?
(Sensitive topics, quieter students, brainstorming)
What is one risk of using ICT without a clear learning purpose?
It becomes a distraction rather than enhancing learning.
Question: What is a metaphor, and how is it different from a simile?
A metaphor directly compares two things generally using 'is' and 'are' (e.g. “Time is a thief”). Similes use “like” or “as” to make a comparison (e.g. “Time is like a thief”).
What classroom management strategy should be set before starting a competitive game?
Clear expectations (e.g. respectful behaviour, appropriate noise levels, staying on task).
Suggest how ICT can enhance formative and/or summative assessments.
→ (e.g. instant feedback, live responses, tracking progress)
Explain how interactive tools improve student engagement compared to static instruction.
(Active participation, visible thinking, shared contributions)
Explain why having a non-digital backup plan is important in classroom management.
Technology can fail (Wi-Fi, power, login issues), and learning must continue smoothly.
If a rectangle has a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm, what is its area? (Needs to have correct units)
40 cm² (Area = length × width → 8 × 5 = 40).
What is one risk of overusing game-based ICT tools in lessons?
Students may focus more on winning than learning, or engagement may become superficial.
