 * Students are actively engaged in using technology as a tool for learning rather than passively receiving information from the technology.

 * 2) Research Tools = use of a dedicated site to research and learn more about topics of choice
 * 3) Knowledge Creation Tools = use of a dedicated site to create and demonstrate understanding
