Discussion:   

• The Learning Activity Types Website | Helpful for choosing the right technology to help represent content. (Resources about PCK for the Design of technologically enhanced learning experiences (TELEs))
• LATs | Analyzing Cases

Review Discussion: Distributed Cognition | Analyzing Cases

• Cognitive amplification (effects with, of, and through);
• Technological pedagogical functions; (connection, translation, off-loading, and monitoring), consider how translation relates to pedagogical content knowledge.
