Just now I was feeling stuck while revising an exercise in the book I'm writing. The best version of the exercise requires the learner to have [x resource] but what if they don't have that?
Rereading part of @gvwilson ;s "Teaching Tech Together" http://teachtogether.tech/en/index.html#s:motivation on motivation and demotivation, and on authentic tasks, is helping me think through how to structure my recommendation.
