Vaughn, Impressive mind map! I appreciate the research you added to justify your examples. From the outside, you look to be comfortable with dynamic technological tools. When you say you are in the middle, do you feel you are still moving toward the dynamic end of the continuum. You seem to be there to me.
Hi Stacey - Thank you for your comments! I think moving towards a dynamic continuum is ongoing. The utilization of technology is continual. We are simply beginning to use technology as a tool for collaboration and sharing. Vaughn
I concur with you on your opening statement. Indeed,in asynchronous and synchronous environments, instructional designers and subject matter experts should develop, test, and implement incipient and appropriate media and technology theories with instructional and learning theories to increase students’ interactions (Borup, West, & Graham, 2013; Wenger et al., 2005).

Hi Segla - You raise excellent points. Technological applications become more relevant when there is a historical or theoretical anology to support the implementation. Vaughn
