1. The benefits of using this model for creative expression is that you don't need the regular infrastructure as in studio arts, so no real mess to clean-up. Every students has their own working computer station with internet access. The students love this medium because they are familiar with the technology. The teacher presents new software using an overhead project and is live off the internet. ======

3. I think that the teacher has a good handle on other relevant resources on the internet, and uses it to enhance the classroom experience. It would be interesting to see how the digital media tools can be used in a distributed learning environment. The First Nations Studies 12 classroom is delivered in a distributed learning environment, which means that there are 8 students in the class and 2 students from a different town are video conferenced into the classroom where the teacher is delivering the course, so all her presentations are mostly power point based, and she also uses other types of digital video's to support course material and all students see this at the same time. ======

4. The teachers' and students' attitudes regarding ITC is a positive one, all students seemed to stay engaged with technology through their social networking communication, and this attitude flows into the learning environment. ======
