Why use Google apps
Flexibility as a VLE ( if VLE available not fit for purpose)
Translation functionality
Apps as shared documents ? whether or not these are places to collaborate
can scaffold - same applies (KRO had issue whether IM had done too much scaffolding ie scaffolded before he knew what ZPD was in terms of the individuals in his student cohort)
KRO? - can you scaffold a wiki as easily as you can a google doc?
demanding for students - new pedagogy, new technology, new subjects matter. KRO- should have asked him what he intended by new pedagogy as he did admit at question time that most of the activity took place on the LH of the CF. Does more content ( teacher inclinatyion) lead to less discussion
contrived - assessment tasks, including participation, presence, personal diaries. KRO forum threads
