- What "Units Of Study" do I have coming up this Spring?
- Are there any units that I wish to make more EXCITING?
- Are there any units coming up that have concepts students typically struggle with?
- Are there any student-created final PROJECTS or PRESENTATIONS that I could revamp?
- Are there any units that could use a few teacher-created "HOW-TO" videos for my students?
- Will there be any times I will be out of the classroom this Spring for conferences? If so, think about creating a few short videos of the "digital YOU" teaching those lessons! Post them to YouTube or push to students via Google Classroom! Once you try it..you will be addicted!
