Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lan's study is about teachers' use of technology in their classrooms, so the most pertinent research site would be the teachers' own classrooms where they are using technology with their students. Observing teachers in their natural teaching environment would provide the most accurate and relevant data for Lan's study. The other options may provide some insight into teachers' attitudes or experiences with technology, but they are not as directly relevant to Lan's research question.
