What is the probability you will… discuss with colleagues or students? apply to improve teaching and learning? use in other ways that might benefit SDSU?

Apply to improve teaching and learning? “I am willing, but still unsure of possible applications. I need more time to think about what I learned today.” “This medium presents a challenge to instructional design. We should brainstorm on new ideas for design.” “I am very interested in using this tool as a meeting place for our online students... Our courses are entirely online.” Discuss with colleagues and students “Some of my colleagues have a different perspective about technology in general.” “I would like to brainstorm possible uses for teachers.” “Will share with instructional staff here at SDSU. ” Use in other ways to benefit SDSU “Various applications when it comes to student and faculty orientations.” “Generating grants for research and development.” “Hard to say at this point.”
