TECHNOLOGICAL LITERACY THIS WEEK: ARCHITECTURE BASICS!!!

I love architecture!! The study of architecture provides one of
the most hands-on and engaging methods of teaching and learning
real-world math, science, physics, history, and more! This
week's lesson plan defines some basic terminology and concepts
to get you prepared, and then provides you with four great
activities for your students!

SEE YOU SOON!!

I hope that this week's newsletter has been useful to you in
your educational pursuits. In the coming weeks we will continue
to address additional methods of integration and special topics
related to technological literacy. Together, we can build a
brighter future for students around the world by preparing them
to use technology as naturally as they use a pencil and paper!

Until next time!
