Planning Technology Based Projects

We will be covering some of the technology resources that we have at Banneker, going over the Instructional Technology standards, and giving examples of some good integrated lessons. Time will be giving to work on an integrated technology lesson that you will actually teach between the 19th and 26th. We will then report back to the group about how the lesson went (a chance to share ideas).
