Many of my lessons learned are addressed in the change/modify section. It is necessary to assess prior knowledge in software skills and then scaffold clear lessons to allow students to successfully achieve their objective. A strategy I definitely want to employ is teaching the software skills prior to announcing the project so as to capture more attention on the task at hand.

So much of this course involves using vocabulary that the student has never used or even heard before. This lesson plan reinforces the concept of situated cognition -- allowing students to solve problems in a real context. To allow students to do so, gives them greater success in actually learning the material.
