=Creating Effective Lessons=

In this session you will be transforming an English lesson of your choice into a lesson that is a technology-rich lesson appropriate for a 1:1 classroom. You may want to choose a lesson that is typically taught early in the second semester of school. You can model your lesson on the Immersion Lesson using any of the tools or resources that you have worked with during the workshop. Feel free to also innovate beyond even these resources. The guidelines for your lesson are outlined below and your technology facilitator will help you develop your lesson.

Lessons must include the following:

 * unique technology-based activities (online activities or software);
 * a technology-based assessment;
 * opportunities for student collaboration to complete the lesson's activities;
