7. Computer Assisted Instruction Computer-based programs that serve as supplements to traditional instruction + natural extension of instruction, “extra practice” - curriculum and program mismatch? · practice in a very visual format

9. Choice Making Student makes a choice between teacher selected assignments  Selects work from a teacher-developed menu + student autonomy, easy to implement - use with caution · defiance, low to no work completion
