Think of an idea for an innovative activity. We are all designers. Consider:
What do I want my students to learn?
What skills do I want them to develop?
Think big ideas, questions, and essential understandings. When planning:
Ask for help from your personal learning network.
Brainstorm with your colleagues.
Connect with department heads.
Partner with the university to gain expertise that you don't have.
Most importantly, talk to your students.
Refine your activity when you meet with the integration specialist
