Tips: At the start, listen carefully because the main topic is often stated there.

Why the other options are wrong:

• How to design a new tablet app for teachers.: No one is designing a new teacher app.
• How to replace all textbooks with tablets across the school district.: They never talk about replacing textbooks. The explicit approach is integration rather than replacement.
• Whether to ban tablets from all classrooms permanently.: The discussion considers a limited pilot, rather than a permanent ban in every classroom.

Correct Answer: Language arts, for reading responses and presentations.

Why this is correct: The person on the left says language arts definitely, giving reading responses, creative writing and presentations as suitable uses.

Tips: Strong opinion words often show the correct answer.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Mathematics and science experiments.: Math is the subject they consider leaving out, and science experiments are not proposed here.
• Physical education and outdoor activities.: Physical education is never discussed at all.
• Music and art classes only.: Music and art only are not the suggested starting subjects.

Correct Answer: The Saskatchewan curriculum still emphasises hands-on learning, especially in math.

Why this is correct: The person on the right is uneasy about screen time and replacing hands-on math manipulatives with apps; the curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning.

Tips: Early concerns often answer primary concern questions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Tablets would increase the amount of homework.: An increase in homework is not the stated worry.
• Teachers would lack support in selecting apps.: App-selection support is not this stated concern.
• Tablets would be costly to maintain.: Tablet maintenance cost is not the screen-time concern.

Correct Answer: Not all families have reliable Wi-Fi at home, particularly on Saskatoon's west side.

Why this is correct: The person on the right raises unequal reliable home Wi-Fi, particularly on the west side, which could make internet-dependent assignments unfair.

Tips: Listen for the specific fairness problem the speaker describes.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Tablets are too expensive for the school to purchase.: School purchase costs are not this equity concern.
• Not all teachers have been trained to use tablets effectively.: Training is important but the stated equity issue is family connectivity.
• Some schools have more funding than others for technology.: Unequal school funding is not the issue described.

Correct Answer: By ensuring work can be done offline or completed at school.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre says work must function offline or be completed at school, so children are not penalized for their families' lack of internet.

Tips: Listen for the practical solution the speaker suggests.

Why the other options are wrong:

• By providing free internet to all families in the district.: Free internet for every family is not promised.
• By cancelling all homework assignments that require a tablet.: The person in the centre allows offline or school completion rather than cancelling every tablet assignment.
• By setting up Wi-Fi hotspots at local libraries only.: Library-only hotspots are not proposed.

Correct Answer: Two Grade 5 classes next term, with evaluation before scaling up.

Why this is correct: The person on the right wants a pilot in two Grade 5 classes next term, with evaluation before wider use.

Tips: Listen for how the speaker qualifies the proposal.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A permanent rollout in every Grade 5 class immediately.: Immediate permanent use in every class conflicts with piloting first.
• A voluntary home-only trial during the summer holidays.: A summer home-only trial is not proposed.
• A pilot limited to one after-school club.: An after-school club is not the pilot setting.

Correct Answer: They should be integrated with existing teaching, rather than replace it.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre clarifies that tablets are for integration rather than replacing existing teaching, responding to the hands-on learning concern.

Tips: Listen for a contrast that limits what a proposal means.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They should replace all math lessons immediately.: Replacing all math lessons conflicts with integration rather than replacement.
• Technology should be removed entirely from math instruction.: Removing all technology from math is not the general role the person in the centre states.
• Math apps should be the sole reason to adopt the programme.: Making math apps the sole reason for the programme is not the clarification.

Correct Answer: Check a few things before finalizing the plan.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre says a few things will be checked before the plan is finalized. No parent opt-out condition or immediate wider rollout is announced.

Tips: The last speaker often explains next steps.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Select only the highest-performing students for the pilot.: Restricting the pilot to high achievers is not proposed.
• Ask parents to purchase the tablets.: Parents buying tablets is never suggested.
• Begin immediately in every Grade 5 class in the district.: Starting in every Grade 5 class conflicts with the limited pilot.
