Step 3: Integrate teacher needs and wants into module creation.

What topics do they want to learn about?
Allow time to collaborate/share/discuss as a group


Step 4: Decide on a proper framework or workflow

How will the module go?
Utilize BLOOMS
** This is the most important step and can save you A LOT of time when creating future modules.
Self-created videos vs random YouTube videos


Step 5: Give time to reflect/share creations/ and implement
Let teachers create something and implement in their classroom

Have them share the creation
Let them come back and reflect. How did it go? What did you like/dislike? What else do you want to learn to help you more?
