SOMETHING TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU PLAN

PLANNING TIPS

Make an honest evaluation of your skill level and ask for help when you need it.

Practice with the technology or visit the web site before you use it with the students.

Set small goals for using tech. in class if you are uncomfortable with tech.

Determine when technology will help the learning process and when it will detract from it.

START WITH THE TABLET

Peer editing with inking.

Have students place Power Points into One Note.

Ink Cards

Annotate with inking or in One Note

EDLINE

Post articles or readings. Have students annotate or discuss articles in a discussion thread.

Post student presentations on Edline and open a discussion for other students to comment.

Open a discussion for questions about assignments or material. Encourage students to check the discussion board and try to answer other students questions.

Come to the help desk if you need help with any of this.
