The document discusses creating interactions in the classroom through various learner-to-learner, learner-to-teacher, and learner-to-content activities. It suggests activities like self-regulated learning where learners seek help from the teacher when needed, collaborative problem solving between students and the teacher, and collaborative working where students and the teacher participate in group activities and knowledge sharing. Students are also encouraged to collaborate with each other on group work and problem solving, as well as with guest experts and community members on projects. Finally, the document discusses learner interactions with tools like software, as well as with online content and resources through activities like web searches and working with databases.

Self regulated learning. A web based conferencing
Learner to Teacher environment may require participants to manage their

Students work together with community members to
solve problems and share knowledge.
Non-Human Interactions and Suggested Activities
Students operate software (copy, pasting, file
Learner to Tools transferring, brainstorming, and outlining).
Students manipulate software (changing content, values,

Students communicate using software (promoting,
sharing ideas, asking questions, reviewing work, and
collaborating).
Students work with and make sense of the information
