Pick and Adapt in Four Easy Steps
 * Step 1: Pick a Group to Work With || Decide if you would like to work with a group or on your own ||
 * Step 2: Pick a Subject/Lesson || Think of and choose a lesson you recently taught or will teach soon ||
 * Step 3: Pick a tool (either Web 2.0 or or physical technological tool) || Web 2.0: Photostory 3, EduGlogster, Wiki, Moodle, MovieMaker, Voki, VoiceThread; Physical Tool: Digital Camera, Flip Camera, Microphone ||
 * Step 4: Adapt a lesson by adding a technology component || Add either an extension for your GT students (or all) or an introduction. Remember when adapting a lesson it could as simple as having a voki explain the directions to students to engage them and then allowing them to create one of their own ||

=Reflection= Keeping in mind our District's technological challenges, how can you as a teacher make an effort to do something different?
