=Identify Pedagogical Issue with Lesson/Unit= Based on this morning's introduction, examine a lesson/unit that you've taught. Identify the reasons that you feel it would benefit from revision in the areas of technology integration, digital equity, effective learning environments (including TPACK), etc.
 * ===Describe Issue=== || ===Relate to Categories of Theoretical Framework=== || ===List Possible Solutions, Resources, Options=== ||
 * //Example: Students aren't engaged by traditional lectures// || //Example: Effective Learning Environments// || //Example: Engage students visually while accessing prior knowledge using a slide show made from copyright friendly images or a video from [|TeacherTube].// ||

=Taking Notes:= Continue taking notes as we explore the process of updating a lesson/unit.

The information which has been shared in this meeting could be helpful in focusing on the goals and needs of my students, as well as to focus more specifically on educational goals and standards in my classroom. I feel as though I'm on the surface level with many of my classroom tools, and I'd like to find a greater opportunity to integrate comprehension (inferencing, compare/contract, context clues, making connections) into the tools that I am using in my classroom.

Voicethread along with the main selection of my story. -Skill of the week compare/contrast -Take illustrations from the main selection of the week, and allow the students to take notes of their stories, record them using the voicethread program.

=Exploring Resources:= As you are exploring resources today, create a resources list below that can come back to as often as you want.

=Rewriting Your Lesson/Unit:= We can't tell you the format to use when writing, but we can provide you with the opportunity, time and resources to begin that work. Likewise, feel free to use this space if you like.

=Create a Rational for Integrating Technology= As a teacher and a learner, it is important to create a statement that explains why you are making this change to your teaching/learning approach. We have created a tool to facilitate this process. If you prefer to write your rational as a statement in paragraph or bulleted list format, feel free. In the workshop we will provide a paper copy to write, but the file is attached here as well as a resource.
