Creating an EdTech Enriched Lesson Plan

The second ed tech workshop with Dr. Shilpa Sahay focuses on creating an ed tech enriched lesson plan. Lesson planning is a huge task for teachers and holds relevance for students' learnings. There exist many ed tech tools, resources and processes which get embedded in teaching and learning. In this workshop, the goal is to introduce the attendees to think about how to create an ed tech enriched lesson plan out of a traditional existing one. The participants will learn how an ed tech rich lesson plan can effectively attain both the disciplinary goals and 21st century digital skills/life skills.
