What will you do to include math into your MATTER lesson plan?
How do you feel this combination will enhance your current plan?
How will you change your student objectives to task oriented objectives?
COMMENT: I did not like science in HS but feel this combination of science and technology would make learning fun for those with learning sytles that favor research and creativity.
SUGGESTION: Try to add podcasts to your lesson with mini facts. Things that you would normally lecture about or things that are sometimes hard for students to retain. That way they can go back and listen to your podcast over & over until they grasp the concept.
