Visitors who used the technology in pairs almost invariably began a discussion about the discovery process, thinking together about where they wanted to go and how they wanted to proceed. Again, this has important classroom implications. We must allow time for students to explore the materials on their own and develop a comfort level. We should also provide information in a variety of formats to accommodate the multitude of learning styles present in every classroom. Developing proficiency in the use of technology is clearly an outcome we desire for our students.
