Yes, i quite agree. I always let the teachers know that they need to consider the desired knowledge, skill and attitudinal outcomes. Look at the range of possible tactics and strategies that they could employ to achieve the outcomes and if technology is appropriate at a specific juncture then employ it. I also believe that publishing and sharing can provide opportunities for community development and affirmation. There is more to come Elaine... thank you! Thank you for the comments Elaine.
