  3. Levels of Use • Level 2- “Helpful”-- Technology used to perform tasks or support intellectual activity more efficiently than non-tech means • Example: Concept-mapping software • Example: Excel spreadsheets creating graphic representations of data relationships • Example: Students using WWW to create class presentations

  4. Levels of Use • Level 3- “Empowering”-- Technology supports intellectual activity in ways non-tech means cannot • Example:Scientific visualizations to view typically unobservable phenomena (plate tectonics, tidal rhythms) • Example: Inquiry software that scaffolds connections between question design and data representations
