Part 3:
Evaluating the Use of ICT in Teaching and Learning

a. Evaluating the Lessons

You will need a framework within which to evaluate the lessons run using ICT, and these are some suggestions concerning issues to consider:

• Were pupils motivated by the work?
• What have they learned?
• What is it that contributed to this learning - the activity, the resources, your whole class explanations and interventions, your individual help, prompting and questioning?
• Were any particular groups of learners disadvantaged by the type of work?
• Were there any difficulties in managing pupils' learning or behaviour?
• Were you able to monitor pupils' progress while they were working?
• Were you able to assess their learning from the results of their work?
• What influence did ICT have on the lesson?
• Could the contribution of ICT have been improved further?
