 * What challenges and/or failures have you faced while teaching with technology?


 * Have you utilized technology to encourage critical thinking?


 * How have your experiences with technology changed your pedagogical methods, expectations, or results? Not just "digital facelift" - merely taking what you do & doing it online?


 * How do you find new tools and evaluate them?


 * What have we to learn from our students? What have you learned from your students?
