MRS. WILSON’S SITUATION

Mrs. Wilson is an enthusiastic teacher who

uses a variety of technology tools in the

delivery of her lesson. However she found

that even though she prepared well for a

particular class using a wall chart and video

presentation only four (4) of the twenty-four

(24) students were actively particularly in

the lesson.

MRS. WILSON’S SITUATION

The other students did not pay much

attention. Some were clearly bored

while many of them were observed

fanning with their exercise books.

SUGGEST THREE LIKELY REASON FOR THIS RESPONSE FROM THE STUDENTS

The chart wasn’t appealing or captivating

The classroom was too hot

The video quality was poor

The chart wasn’t appealing or captivating

Prepare a chart (that is colorful with pictures) that will

stimulate students’ interest and cater to their cognitive level.

.

PROPOSE A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION FOR EACH OF THE REASONS

The classroom was too hot

In order to resolve the issue of heat in the

classroom an air conditioning unit or

wall/standing fans can be used to provide a

cool environment so that students can be

more comfortable

PROPOSE A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION FOR EACH OF THE

REASONS

The video quality was poor

A video of better quality: better sound and clear

visual can be used.
