1:  You will work with a partners assigned by your tutor. Find a lesson idea which you find interesting/useful/exciting, and adapt it to your subject and grade level. Choose a lesson which you can implement as soon as possible in class.

Write up your idea for a transformative lesson. Using Google Docs, share it with your partner assigned by your tutor. Comment on each other’s lesson ideas using the commenting feature.

Once you have made any changes, try out the lesson idea in class. Then add comments on your experience to your lesson idea, save it and share this with your whole group using the document upload facility in the discussion group for this lesson (the one you used in 2.7.1). Remember to include your name in the file name.

Finally, upload the file to your tutor using the upload facility on this page.  Your tutor will use the Technology Integration Matrix as an assessment tool.
