Who is making decisions about which technologies to use and when to use them? The teacher, the students, or both?
Do the students have the ability to choose among multiple technology tools and apply them to meaningful learning activities?
What questions would you have for the teacher about his or her decisions about how technology is integrated in this lesson?
What changes to this lesson might change its TIM profile?
What suggestions would you have for this teacher about this lesson?
