Teacher Aid Training

Which definition best describes Edtech?

• Using technology in the classroom like PowerPoint and multi-media tools

• Attaching technology updates to lesson plan activities for students to do.

• hardware and software designed to enhance teacher-led learning in classrooms and improve students' education outcomes.
  

• Using software to enhance learning

Your school has no laptops, but teachers and students have basic smartphones. Which tool would be most practical for an interactive Physics lesson on circuits?

• PHET’s "Circuit Construction Kit" (mobile-friendly)

• A desktop-only virtual lab software
  

• 
  A printed textbook diagram
  

• A YouTube video requiring 4G data

• True

• False

What does PBL stand for?

• Project Based Lesson

• People Based Learning

• Project Board Learning

• Project Based Learning

Which of the following is a benefit of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in low-tech STEM classrooms?

• 
  It helps students solve real-world problems with local materials
  

• It requires expensive lab equipment
  

• It replaces the need for teacher instruction

• It replaces the need for teacher instruction

Which of these is a benefit of using simulation to teach?

• Eliminates the need for teacher instruction entirely

• It allows for individualised learning where students can learn at their pace.

• Requires expensive equipment for all students

• Only works for advanced university-level topics

Which of these is not a way to use PhET simulation?

• As a student-driven exploration tool for science concepts
  

• For projecting teacher-led demonstrations in low-tech classrooms
  

• To replace all physical laboratory experiments permanently
  

• As a formative assessment tool through guided inquiry activities

What is a key takeaway from this training for STEM teachers with limited technology?

• High-tech tools are the only way to teach effectively
  

• Free tools like PHET can enhance learning even with minimal resources
