We have a number of things to do in class today:

• We're going to review a few points about creating an integrated lesson plan/unit. This discussion will help you with Phase 4 of your Social Studies unit that is due on Monday, April 30th.
• We're going to look at two different technology tools - one that can be used to enhance your teaching and the other one that is an organizational tool for you.
• We will also complete the online course evaluations for EDU 350 and EDU 360.
• And, finally, we will go to TJES to support Memoree as she teaches her lesson about mealworms!
