This document outlines the agenda for a digital tools education session, including classifying and evaluating various online tools, completing breakout activities, and a second problem-based learning presentation. Participants will discuss categorizing different tool types, using checklists to evaluate educational technologies, and work in groups to propose a project using new tools and justifying their selection through a mock grant application. The session aims to help educators learn how to critically examine digital tools for supporting knowledge construction.
