Glossary

 

purposeful scarcity: limiting it to one computer or one paper/pencil.  But if you want everyone to collaborate and discuss and communicate, then limiting the device would be better than having everyone write.  If everyone writes, they become independent.  If there's purposeful scarcity, there may be more collaboration and discussion.
