Hardware/Software Checklist

• It certainly seems that with the skills needed to produce a presentation there must be quite a bit of thought and evaluation involved. Actually, outside of "Evaluating technology materials and media to determine their most appropriate instructional use" all of you do the rest of things in the list. The only difference with technology infusion is the vehicle you want to use to get at the indicators (objectives). Discuss with your partner how you intend to configure your lesson with technology. Use Microsoft Word to record your thoughts and be prepared to share them with the group.
