Thinkfinity

I have found and selected two lesson plans that I can use as part of an instructional unit in my class. The items found on the Thinkfinity Web sites are not necessarily complete units but supplemental resources.

I have completed two forms – one for each Thinkfinity lesson plan. A description of the instructional unit can be found at the top of the form. At the bottom, there is a description of the Thinkfinity lesson and why the lesson would be an integral part of the instructional unit.


 * Check out two of my favorite Thinkfiny resources that I came across... I have listed them with a brief description in the documents below*

** A lesson on the basic techniques used to create a good magazine cover design. ** **What a great resource!** **This student reproducible, from a ReadWriteThink lesson, offers tips for students who are designing PowerPoint presentations.**

Since my areas of interest are design and instruction, I decided to perform a search on Thinkfinity by typing in the word "design." So many great resources came up but I decided to choose one the ones I felt were closest to my areas of interest.
 * Process:**

I'd really like to delve into the 21st Century Skills resources on the Thinkfinity website. There are many categories: Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication, and Collaboration. I would like to explore these items and discover everything that Thinkfinity.org really has to offer.
 * Other Items in Thinkfinity to Explore:**

Thinkfinity is a great resource for instructors and will be an integral part of my instructional design and/or teaching in the future. I am eager to implement Thinkfinity lessons and experiment with different ways of applying them to discover the most successful techniques. I am also interested in finding out how to get the most out of a Thinkfinity lesson by pairing it up with different applications of technology.
