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

a. Evaluating the Lessons

This sort of lesson should certainly leave you feeling that pupils have not only enjoyed the work, but have also learned a great deal. It is worth considering:

• 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?
