The technology in this lesson helps both visual and auditory learners gain a stronger understanding of the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado." The students will also be gaining practice in taking tests which will help them on standardized tests. Students will be able to log into the test during class time or at home (if the student misses class). This helps the student stay on track without requiring more work on the teachers or students part.
 * Technology reflection: **

I am not a fan of multiple choice tests or tests on literature in general, but this lesson will give students practice in taking tests. The students will have to have access to laptops or the computer lab in order to take the online test, or the test will need to be completed for homework or during a free period.
