Primary Teachers
Kelly:
Kelly developed experimental lessons in five subject areas: social studies, mathematics, spelling, science, and reading. She used the interactive whiteboard in all nine experimental lessons, the document camera in six, and the wireless response system in five.
- In seven of nine experimental lessons, 86% or more of Kelly's students indicated that the instructional strategy absolutely or mostly helped them understand the lesson ideas. In four of the nine lessons, 100% of students indicated that the instructional strategy absolutely or mostly helped them understand the lesson ideas.
- In all nine lessons, 86% or more of Kelly's students reported that the technology absolutely or mostly helped them understand the lesson ideas. In four of the nine lessons, 100% of Kelly's students reported that the technology absolutely or mostly helped them understand the lesson ideas.
