Create

We want educators to dive deeper into the the Deeper Learning Protocol. In this activity you will create a digital artifact that will be used as an example on the district DLP for other educators to explore and use. You will need to be mindful of time, as you will need to create this artifact and have it online within 30 minutes. In your groups, you may need to consider divvying up the work to be efficient. Have fun, be creative!

Your digital artifact should include:

A definition of your DLP facet (in your words - not copy pasted!)
An Implementation idea and/or example of your DLP facet for each building level (pk-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12)
Visual Representation / Aide
Questions that could be added to DLP and could further guide teachers into utilizing the facet.
