Adaptation and Creation

Adaptation and Creation

Adapting Materials to the Template

This course is about making technology easy for you to use in your class, right? Well, this is the reason so many templates have been provided for you - and this one's no exception. Before you begin adapting materials to the template, you'll need to get the template- which you can do here.

With all your gathered materials, compare what you've collected with the sections of the template. Most of the template addresses things that you should have decided upon, from the simple matter of grade level and subject to the technology needs to the project outcomes.

There are some other considerations which the template addresses as well, though. These are considerations which need to be worked directly into the lesson plan, but shouldn't be too difficult:
