Planning for Yr 3

Our time in Medora will be focused on developing a comprehensive curriculum for Yr 3. Assesment of the project will be done with the Idaho Teacher Tech Test/Portfolio. That being the case, it would seem to me that we should do a little "backwards designing" to build our curriculum. (Pray tell what the difference between BD and teaching to the test is.)

The following the text version of the Planning Map that I have drawn out. Please review and comment.

In the beginning...

Amazing how quickly we can get behind in technology! It's important to stay "in the flow" of what's new and what's making news.
