Questions :** If you have done the Essentials course, What are the similarities and differences between the Teach Thinking with Technology and the Essentials course. What are the things you are wondering or still have questions about.

A similarity is the framework for unit development incorporating the curriculum framing questions, assessment details, unit plans etc. This is referred to constantly which is an essential feature of the course, always ensuring that tool projects are relevant and relate to curriculum framing questions. In this course we did not set us folders for teacher and student resources as in the essentials course. I guess we put it all on-line via the wiki which was preferable. Really enjoyed doing this course, can see countless possibilities for use of tools across KLAs especially in integrated curriculum and implementation of VELS. Looking forward to starting with teachers although those that have not done the Essentials course will find it challenging and this is our challenge to find ways to ensure they find the training logical, manageable, practical and overall motivating, ensuring that it gets incorporated into classroom practice.
