Nicholas, Good Points! Yes, the immediacy and the potential to customize are very central to the affect of the technology. So, designing instruction should take that into account and apply value to what is discovered. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Using Technology to Develop New Skills
Lanny, Your comments are accurate and I would also add that as students use technology that is new to them, they also learn new skills that emerge form that use. Therefore, as well as valuing the actual outcome, the process should be valued as well. Dr. Ruth Reynard
