Project completion

Finished the project!!!!!!

Module #3

I believe I have finished module #3. I spoke with fellow teachers and used their input in forming this module. It appears to be a very simple step, but we , as teachers, sometimes get stuck in ruts. This step can help us refine our assessments and create better units, making classrooms more student centered.

Module 2 Complete

Whew!, I finally settled on the design and set up Module 2. Its taken a while, but this is the most important step in the process. The Unit question is paramount to creating an engaging unit. I decided to go with a group activity, i may try a test group with mindmeister or scribble. not sure, but when al else fails go with butcher paper. I think the new module is going great, next is ASSESSMENT!
