PLEASE NOTE:
Keep in mind this Module is in draft form, and we are looking for your valuable input to help us make it an effective learning tool for teachers. In this Module, we are focusing on technology and big books as teaching and learning strategies. One of the changes we will be making is the use of collaborative digital platforms, but for now we are using Google Docs and Slides. We look forward to your feedback!
