# Tech Week Notes - Preparation

A quick note on class interests regarding:

- Subject areas
- Potential topics
- Technology genres

Based on which I'll be assigning groups to take over one of the technology weeks and themes. During technology week - each group will essentially do the following:

:::info
- Find 1-2 articles that can shed light on the strengths of how such technology might get learners to think actively about understanding goals.
  - E.g. What kind of concepts, learning, problems are these technologies well suited for?
- Give a demonstration of how such a technology might be used as performances of understanding.
  - With specific tasks demonstrated, specific supports designed, etc.
  - In the context of the TFU framework: e.g. provide a generative topic, understanding goals, then explain how technology might be used as part of the performances of understanding.
:::

As a class we will discuss the merits as well as shortcomings (a critique) of the potential this technology may have.

## Organized by Student Name

I think it's probably easiest to organize this by each student name - so just use the example below and submit your area of interest.

I can't guarantee full coverage of all areas, topics, technologies, but plan to use this as a guide to pick appropriate weekly themes and organize this in a way that will hit areas that are at least relevant to us in some way.
