Out+Of+The+Box+Teaching+Tools

Welcome to the Wiki page for the "out of the box" teaching tools, as requested by teachers!

Feel free to post lesson plans, project ideas, or other ways that you have integrated different teaching strategies in your classrooms.

If you have never used a wiki before, do not worry. Most have not! Just click on the giant pencil icon that says "EDIT" to begin adding your contributions to this project. Do not forget that creating a classroom project based on these institutes, and being observed during the project, can all count towards the completion of your Professional Development Plan (PDP). = =
