The document provides instructions for students to complete an activity in small groups where they will: 1. Create a function comparison matrix on a wiki comparing tools within an assigned category. 2. Fill out the matrix by including the tools, functions, and features. 3. Post the matrix to the teacher website under the "Tech Resources" page along with a title, description of what was done in class, and educational value of the tools in their category.

4. TIP #8: CREATE A FUNCTION COMPARISON
MATRIX
• What is Wiki? Wikis in Plain English
• NOTE: only one person can edit your group’s wiki
page at a time, or else… bad things will happen, so
your group needs an editor
• All group members need a role, so you need to divide
these responsibilities first
• ONE CONDITION: You cannot talk at all. The only way
you can communicate throughout this activity is
through some digital tool.
