  Design with Forever in Mind: Capturing learning in the classroom

 The purpose of the session is to inform all teachers that designing curriculum with a focus toward reusability, reflection, and student ownership is not only desirable but essential. The session will show the process of collecting student products and teacher collaborations and lessons in a step-by-step format. It will also demonstrate that there is an entire community of educators who are willing to share resources and learning objects with their classroom environment, meaning that they do not have to feel alone and isolated in their own work or their own classroom.
