Category - Digital Lit and CS

A teacher periodically assigns small groups of students to conduct Internet searches on topics related to class units of study. Students gather and summarize information and collaboratively develop products resulting from the searches, including Web pages, video clips, informational brochures, and oral reports. This practice demonstrates the teacher's awareness of the importance of: 
  1. Promoting students' development of study skills that support achievement.
  2. Maximizing the amount of class time during which students engage in computer work.
  3. Encouraging students to use reading and analysis skills for inquiry and research.
  4. Prompting students to develop criteria for identifying potential bias in Web-based content.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. The act of students collaboratively searching, gathering, and summarizing information, and then synthesizing that information to create a variety of work products, demonstrates a high level of research, analysis, inquiry, and creativity skills. A, B, and D are incorrect because the activity goes far beyond study skills (A), engagement in computer work (B), and identifying potential bias in Web-based content (D).
