2018-2019 Technology Action Plan
As part of the final week's assignment for EDU 682, I have put together an action plan for how I'd like to integrate what I've learned over the last five weeks into my junior high classes this coming year.
I am a schedule person and I love to have a checklist to follow. So as part of my curriculum outline for this year I will be adding the following checklist. As I explore more of these tools and apps, I'd like to add more throughout the school year. I feel like it is a pretty front-loaded plan, with a lot going on in the beginning months of the year. Finally, I am adding the links from our class as a quick reference to easily attain apps and tools in the future.
