Question

question 1 (mandatory) (2 points)
a teacher is considering using a computer program as a tool for reinforcing classroom instruction. the teachers most appropriate criterion for selecting such a program, in order to be developmentally appropriate, would be whether the program:
allows self - pacing and can be adjusted to reflect each students ability and comfort levels.
includes amusing sounds and animated characters to maintain students interest and focus.
permits students to use it competitively with a partner.
allows parents to compare their child to all the other children in the class.

Explanation:

Developmentally appropriate programs should accommodate individual differences. Self - pacing and adjustability to student ability levels meet this criterion. Sounds and animations (second option) are more about engagement than developmental appropriateness. Competition (third option) may not suit all students' development. Parental comparison (fourth option) is not directly related to developmental appropriateness for the students using the program.

Answer:

A. allows self - pacing and can be adjusted to reflect each student's ability and comfort levels
