In choosing tools for student learning, it is important for teachers to choose tools that ask the learner to participate with maximum engagement. Static tools allow for minimal levels of participation and creativity on the part of the student. Dynamic tools encourage and require participation, collaboration, communication and creativity (Moller, 2008). Dynamic technologies also allow for both students and teachers to collaboratively participate in knowledge building using a blended curriculum of learning modes, and among a community of professionals which is a highly effective learning method (Wenger, 2005).
