22. COS - page 39 Prepare Your Materials • Prepare the materials you need, such as: instructional materials, handouts, and assessments. • It is important to provide students with clear, concise, step-by-step directions for every aspect of the activity.

23. COS - page 39 Create a Schedule • Create a schedule that allows students maximum use of technology resources. • When will the computers be available? • What off-computer activities will students be doing when computers are in use? • What must students complete before they work on the computers?

24. COS- page 40 Introduce Lesson and Evaluation • The introduction to the lesson is your chance to excite students about the activity. • Explain the process step-by-step. • Distribute and review student materials.

25. COS- page 40 Share Student Work • Provide time for students to share their work with each other. • This will bring closure to the activity. • It will give students a chance to see what their classmates accomplished.

26. COS- page 40 Evaluate the Activity • When the activity is complete, evaluate the students’ final project based on the criteria that was established at the beginning of the activity. • You should also evaluate the activity as a whole. • Did the technology add value? • Would I implement the activity again?
