Question sheets from the Instant Lesson may be collected and evaluated. Teachers may also assess student knowledge through the class discussion, use of the Peter Packet game, and knowledge of the vocabulary words listed in the Networking Dictionary. The objectives listed in the lesson should be achieved.

Beyond knowledge of the technical aspects of this lesson, teachers should try to assess student interest in using technologies positively and responsibly. Although such assessment is often difficult and elusive, the best way to gauge progress in this area is through observation of student use of computers and student interest in taking part in programs that use technologies to help others in the community and throughout the world.

Teachers should try to assess student interest in using technologies positively and responsibly and student understanding of how careers in technology might be rewarding for all students, not just the boys in the class. Although such assessment is often difficult and elusive, the best way to gauge progress in this area is through observation of student use of computers, student desire to understand how technologies work, and student interest in taking part in programs that use technologies to help others in the community and throughout the world.
