=Beth Barton= **Directions:** Your goal is to create a powerful lesson that uses technology as a tool for learning and includes all the ideas we've learned about. Before you start creating your lesson, please jump to the bottom of this page to take a look at the peer review section. This should help guide you as you design it. When your lesson is reviewed, your peers will take a look at. The Big Question: What do you want to **teach** and how can technology help you teach it better?
 * ===Stages of Tech Adoption===
 * ===Universal Design for Learning===
 * ===Use of Digital Tools===
 * Click on Cool Tools in the sidebar of this wiki to find plenty of digital tools to support learning.
 * Note: This is a work in progress so it is not as "pretty" as I'd like yet. Don't hesitate to email me with questions or if you are looking for suggestions.

**Evaluation:**
Consider engaging students in the evaluation piece. Instead of asking students to stand in front of the room and share their project with the whole class, perhaps they could be given a specific task related to evaluation/learning from each other's work. (i.e. Comments on a Voicethread are more powerful when you ask them to comment about something other than how the image looks. Review your evaluation piece and ask students to look at final projects with more of a focus.
