• Scenario (Case): Ms. Anderson wants to teach her students
how to identify different shapes: rectangles, circles, etc.

problems understanding the characteristics of different
shapes. She has a chance to use a computer lab with the
Internet connection. There is also a media center in the
school library to checkout cameras and iPads (10 available).

student learning.
