(Two weeks: full-time in practicum classroom for ECE Program students)
You will need to save your students' products from your eBook lessons.  (Otherwise, you would have to go back to your schools to get them.)  You will need your students' products to share during the ECED 3000 class presentations of your eBook lessons.  Please note: you should have students write their names on the back of the eBook products because you are going to scan them to publish in your eBook on the Internet and we should not publish students' names.

Special Guest, Ms. Shirley Sainz, the SMART Board expert will demonstrate how to use templates to develop activities for all elementary students in all subjects.  This interactive whiteboard information will be very helpful for your SMART Board final presentation.
