List the technologies and specifically describe how the features were used to create the prototype. Include evidence of ‘prototype’ that was created. If the evidence is video, include still images and link to the video.
2. What challenges (positive and/or negative) did you face and how did you respond?
3. How might you apply the technology / process in your future teaching and why?
Give examples of curriculum activities. Identify and justify which APST you are addressing.
4. What are the potential problems when using this in an Early Childhood / Primary /
Secondary setting? How might these be addressed?
