  2. #1: The question should be more specific about which podcast was being referenced. Also, answer D is too broad of an answer choice, all of the other options are specific websites. Maybe they should replace choice D with a specific blog hosting site, such as WordPress.

  6. #1 is too broad of a question because there are many different podcasts. It should be "Which of the following was not a new technology listed in ... podcast?"

  7. Question #3: The question should be worded different such as
    "Which of the following is an example of copyright being used incorrectly?" That way the question is more clear to the student answering the question.

  8. #2 The answer choices include 3 examples of professional development, and one definition. The question should be revised to:
    2. what is the definition of professional development?

  9. #2 This question's answer choices do not fully describe what professional development is. I think that answers c and d could be types of professional development, and therefore that's a problem when it comes to choosing just one. I think this question needs a solid answer choice that encompasses what professional development means, such as "all types of learning opportunities such as academic degrees, extra conferences or courses/workshops, and informal research to become a better educator".
