Some ideas for a lesson plan

  • Students could create a presentation about the topic covered in class, this could either be done individually or as a group. So the teacher can check student progress students could either give the teacher their password and user name or the teacher could assign user names and passwords.
  • Specific information could be given to student, dates and events, that relate to material covered or is going to be covered in class. The task for students is to check the given information for accuracy – get students to correctly reference resources – before entering the information into the time line.
