Which planning step is described as essential before delivering technological information to a student?

• A. The student’s attire should be considered
• B. The brand of technology should drive instruction
• C. The teacher must first have an idea of what needs to be addressed in the student's game
• D. The facility's color scheme should be chosen

Answer: (C)

The essential planning step is for the instructor to first have a clear idea of what needs to be addressed in the student’s game before delivering any technological information. When you pinpoint the exact skill or pattern that needs improvement, you can tailor the data and feedback to that goal, choose the most relevant metrics, and design drills that directly support progress. This makes tech feedback meaningful and actionable rather than overwhelming or unfocused. Extraneous details like what the student wears, letting the technology brand drive the lesson, or the facility’s color scheme don’t influence the learning objective and aren’t part of this planning step.
