Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Not Applicable (N/A)
No interactivity to get at reasoning, collaboration, constructing arguments.
Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Very Weak (0)
Activities are repetitive in format, not much variety. On Rags to Riches if the answer is incorrect, the game abruptly ends. Purpose was not clear.
Quality of Technological Interactivity: Limited (1)
Interactive in that students are answering questions, selecting answers. May be engaging to students for short periods of time. Activities do not have strong connections with each other. May seem disjointed.
Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Very Weak (0)
Instructional components not clear or are not included.
Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Very Weak (0)
Stated goal of the activity does not have strong connection (for learners) to the activities. May need more scaffolding to help connect.
