Integrated Lesson Plan and Presentations
Working in teams of two students, you will write a technology integrated lesson plan and implement that lesson in class. The lesson should be done for the grade level you are interested in teaching.

Presentations will be done starting on March 5 (if any group is ready) and continue on March 12. Each pair will be requires to write a lesson plan (see below for template) and present that lesson to the other students in this class. Each group will have 15 minutes for their lesson presentation.
