How do we fit our projects into existing curricula and district guidelines?  I struggle with this question everyday. Taking Tech driven classes the last two summers has been an enlightening experience. I have learned so much about the skills students need for the 21^st century and the tools that can be used to develop those skills, but the question still remains.  How do I incorporate the new tools and projects developed into a curriculum that is already jammed packed?  The readings in Module 5 have brought me a step closer to solving the problem.  In particular, the Good Models of Teaching with Technology (GMOTT) site provided great examples of how teachers have successfully integrated technology into their classrooms and throughout the school.  In addition, the site provided a complete explanation GMOTT, Templates to help you design for technology integration and examples of completed templates.  I will refer to this site and the tool for creating technology enhanced lesson when I design my plan for integrating technology into the curriculum.
