Have a PLAN!• Here is Why I Told You to Wait! • You need to sketch out a plan before you really get started

building one. Just sketch it out on paper! • If you don’t, you risk getting caught without a tile or you

might not use the features to the fullest extent

means lesson plans can be the box to hold all of the learning tools you are using

•Blendspace, Padlet, Nearpod, Touchcast, Google, and others all have embed codes!
