One way to proceed would be to go around and poll each team member for the best two and worst two from their perspective. Pay attention to each of the other perspectives, even if at first you think you might disagree with them.
There will probably not be unanimous agreement, so the next step is to talk together to hammer out a compromise consensus about your team's nominations for best and worst. Pool your perspectives and see if you can agree on what's best for the learner. Begin to put aside your individual perspective and come to an agreement that takes into account all three perspectives.
When debriefing time is called, report your results to the whole group. Do you think the other groups will agree with your conclusions?

You love the Tools. The newer, the shinier, the more powerful the better. To you, the best lessons/projects make the best use of the technology available to the kids and meet ISTE's standards . If the lesson/project makes minimal use of the tools, you'd rather use a more traditional assignment. Your mantra is "new things new ways ", but make sure it is integral, not an add-on.
{300pix.gif} 300pix.gif
You love variety in your methods. To you, the best lessons/projects have elements that are: hands-on, experiential, project-based, differentiated, address the multiple intelligences, etc.
