 * Rationale 1: This lesson was used in my Information Processing class to 10-12 graders. The lesson was developed to determine if students are ready to learn online or if they learn better with classroom instruction. I wanted to use formal and informal assessment to get a better understanding of where they excelled and struggled. I learned that students at Frederic High School are not ready to learn online but after this experience they will be better prepared and excited about learning online in the future.
