1) Each classroom is different. In some cases, there aren't enough computers for everyone to use at once. Another issue while teaching younger children is whether or not to show a video while a lecture is taking place, it could be distracting. Each teacher, I'm sure, wants to make their learning environment to be fun. Using technology in classrooms now is much more common. Children learn to use computers and other technology at very young ages but some maybe be slower than others so trying to figure out the right balance is important.

2) I think that all of these classrooms that could present questions. Above I mentioned that each student learns at a different level. In classroom 3, this is something that comes up. She isn't sure when to show the animation. In classroom 2, the teacher is unsure whether or not she should guide the students to what she thinks they should be researching or allow them to find their own way. This goes along with effects of motivation on effort and goals of the learning process. Will they have the motivation to learn with her assistance along the way or will they only want her to have at all mapped out for them?
