This site is no longer being updated, please visit and BOOKMARK its new location!
Please note: some video recordings were made prior to the change in using TurnItIn and Lab Documentation Requirements for some submissions; however, the information within the videos still corresponds to the modules. Be sure to follow the directions WITHIN the modules for the most up-to-date instructions.
Throughout the course materials below you will find mini lessons. Mini lessons are teaching videos which are less than 10 minutes and review specific parts of modules. Do not assume that mini lessons will go over all the information in an entire module. Mini lessons are helpful for reviewing specific pages of modules, as indicated in their titles below.
Throughout the course materials below you will find assignment templates and planning tools--highlighted in purple font. Assignment templates are easy to type in, perfectly formatted assignment pages for you to complete your written assignments in. There are also hints and tips--like videos to watch or where to go review in the module--to help you earn mastery on your first assignment submission. Planning tools are brainstorming pages to help you complete more open-ended, creative assignments. They include reminders and checklists to ensure you don't forget anything when you submit your assignment.
*Be sure to always check the module FIRST to make sure any assignment templates and planning tools actually match up to the current assessment requirements.
Throughout the course materials below you will find assignment reviews. Assignment reviews are short instructional videos (5-10 minutes) where I review the directions on how best to complete an assessment. Best to pair with the assignment templates or planning tools.
*Be sure to always check the module FIRST to make sure any assignment reviews actually match up to the current assessment requirements.
Throughout the course materials below you will find extension activities, articles, information labeled "EXPLORE." Feel free to do just that: EXPLORE these topics and ideas by clicking on these links to learn more! ◡̈
