Using the media-enabled environment would be more effective than the media-disabled environment because the students would be able to not only construct but also more easily revise their outline. The technology allows for greater development of ideas as the students are not limited to one sheet of paper and can modify ideas they've already typed instead of beginning again on a new sheet of paper.]]> 2016-05-09 18:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hmartin91/ww76xdfwd48i/wish/109955431
