Let's See Some Examples of How to Make this work in our Units of Study... 3rd Grade Unit on Plants : How to Share-- While Microsoft Word Documents and Power Points may work- So will SMART Notebook files, Google Docs, and Wikis -- Why not try something new?

Life Cycle Of Plants Unit - Guess what you can do with this..... Share with your team... Give them editing rights... Get several minds putting together the best techo savy units. The **BEST part....** if something doesn't work- delete it- As you find more/better ideas (what might work with ESL or LEAP or SPED) add that in also- Each year you can go back to the unit- add or delete as new improved technology is found and never have to truly reinvent an entire wheel again. When curriculum changes- be ready! **We will work smarter not harder! **
