Prepare: • Examine the skills • Identify what is already taught and what needs to be integrated • Brainstorm areas of the curriculum that need to be supported

Design: • Create tasks for students that incorporate technology and allow for the instruction of the tech skills that support the curriculum in the needed areas • Record which skills are taught within the task on the Checklist

Remember: • Tasks should be common across the grade level • Tasks can be created to be incorporated during marking period 3. If not, they will be incorporated during the 16-17 school year • Create tasks using current technology resources
