Technology and Resources

Building a Unit Plan Homepage

• Reviewing examples from other AAM teacher-made unit plans (http://www.aamprogram.org/resources/lesson_plans.aspx)
• Read information from the following American Memory web site: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/lessons/fw.html. In grade level and/or subject matter teams (2-3 teachers) discuss how these suggestions apply to your and your students.
• Begin building your homepage (Homepage Check Sheet PDF) (Sample Home Pages)
• Make an e-mail link to your e-mail account on your homepage – Dreamweaver (Page 14)

Workshops – Handouts and Sign-ups

(NOTE to instructors: reinforcement workshops are recommended due to the higher technology skill levels required to complete course work. Instead of using valuable class time on extended hands-on technology training, provide workshops that teachers can attend to get the technical assistance needed.)

Homework for next class:

Complete the “Homepage Check Sheet”.
