STEP 6
New: Start putting your revisions into action by filling out the two boxes below.
Include a brief description (1-2 sentences) about why/how you revised this activity. This description will go under the title on OER Commons and help teachers understand how you’ve made it more applicable for a K-12 context. By writing this below now, you be more efficient in Module 3 when you share your revised/remixed activity to OER Commons. |
|
If you didn’t include (links to) new elements that you created (ex: new images, different vocabulary, new worksheet, etc.), you can list them below or go back up to each individual step and add them. In Step 6 you move beyond ideas/brainstorm to putting those ideas into action. |
