Instructional Ideas

• Assign the quick write on a blog post that allowed pupils to answer the question and interact with their peers 
• Guide learners through the first step to familiarize them with how to use the technology
• Group class members in pairs or triads to aide different ability levels 

Classroom Considerations

• As warned in the lesson, some links have changed 
• Participants require a digital learning device and copies of worksheets 

Pros

• Includes an extra video to extend the learning experience 
• Encourages following directions 

Cons

• Included worksheets are clearly formatted but provide little space for written response; add a sheet of paper for those that need more room
