Oct. 29

It is very difficult to separate media and method. They really are integral.

Pedagogy, Content, and Technology
The intersection is what we want. Sometimes a professor is high on content and low on pedagogy. In that case, most of the times you end up with lecture.

Affordances
Every technology has certain affordances. Doors vary in their affordances. One has a push bar, others have a lever. The bar has a particular affordance that allows a certain activity. Affordances facilitate or inhibit certain abilities. The features of the technological tools provide affordances that make things easier or more difficult.
