Activity
1. Pick one of the learner identities that intrigues you the most, perhaps that you do not feel that you currently serve well with your use of technology. Options are:– Reader/Viewer/Listener– Creator– Collaborator– Driller
2. Think about a tool (or a type of tool) that would enhance or transform the learning experiences of that learner.
3. Talk through an idea for doing this with a partner or a small group.
