Activity:  Identify Tools, Applications, Media
1.  Try to fill in this table with names or descriptions of specific tools and/or applications and/or media and then compare/contrast your results with those of some participating colleagues.   

2.  Try to deconstruct some of these tools or media.  The structure and functionality of each one tends to favor certain kinds of teaching and certain kinds of learning – and to present obstacles for other kinds of teaching and learning.  Identify some of these implications.   Use/adapt chart below:

• Who is responsible for finding, deconstructing, evaluating, adapting new options?  How?
