Synopsis

  1. Creating your own lesson plans using sample lesson planners
  2. Applying frameworks for grade-level objectives and skills
  3. Dealing with information-technology overload
  4. Solving any information challenge with six critical steps
  5. Helping students harness the web with simple tips
