Schedule the facilities that are required for this activity. Obtain the required technological resources such as software or tutorials. Engage resource people such as the PTTS, if necessary. Do not be afraid to include students in this group. Sometimes, they know more than teachers do.
Students are very willing and eager to help.
Obtain and organize any supplies necessary for the completion of the activity such as instruction sheets, worksheets, work folders and disks. If students will be working in groups, it is helpful to color code the folders and disks by class period with each group having a number. This group number can be coded to student disks, folders, and assigned computers. This will save time at the beginning of class because students will know that all green folders and disks are first period, all blue are second, etc. Set up the computer desktop.
