Transcript text: Question 5 of 8
When trying to select the right tool to integrate into your class, you should always start with:
A help site
The functionality of the tool
The learning goal
An idea from a trusted colleague
Solution
The answer is: The learning goal.
Explanation for each option:
A help site: While a help site can provide useful information about how to use a tool, it is not the starting point for selecting a tool. The primary focus should be on what you want to achieve in your class, not on how to use a tool.
The functionality of the tool: Understanding the functionality is important, but it should come after you have identified what you want to achieve. The tool's features should align with your educational objectives, not the other way around.
The learning goal: This is the correct answer. The learning goal should always be the starting point when selecting a tool. By clearly defining what you want students to learn or achieve, you can then choose a tool that best supports those objectives.
An idea from a trusted colleague: While colleagues can provide valuable insights and recommendations, their suggestions should be considered in the context of your specific learning goals. What works for one class may not be suitable for another.
