Susan - Feedback to group members

Emily - microsoft word vs paper and pencil

Excellent list Emily. You might want to add that when you create a document in Word,it can easily be sent to another person as an attachment to an email.

Paula - spreadsheet vs hand calculation

Paula, that is a great list. The only other thing that comes to mind is the use of an excel spreadsheet to track student data. I use one to keep an easy record of my student's reading scores. It helps me track their progress and is all on one page which allows me to keep track of the group as a whole and compare student learning.

Francoise - Wiki vs webpage
Fran, I liked the way you began each category with a definition that showed the differentiation. Great list.

Kathryn – Powerpoint vs. Poster/transparancies

One thing you might add - power point gives you the added plus of being able to create a handout of slides for presentation notes. You can select the option of creating spaces for listeners to record additional notes next to each slide
