About This Lesson
Author: Cathie Norris (University of North Texas), Elliot Soloway (University of Michigan)
This is a "backbone" lesson for students to learn about how a law is passed in the U.S. Congress. There are only a few learning activities in the lesson “Roadmap.” The intent is for a teacher to modify the lesson to fit the needs of her/his classroom. For example, a high school teacher might include more text-based materials, while an elementary school teacher might include more video-based materials. Feel free to add new learning activities – and share that revised lesson! (Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner of the window; click on “share” and (1) select “Collaborators” and type in a colleague’s Google email account, or (2) select “Roadmap Repository” to post your revised Roadmap back to Edmodo!)
Teaching Tips: This lesson uses the Roadmap.center platform, a platform that supports educators in managing the full life-cycle of a digital lesson (e.g., creating, distributing, monitoring, assessing, sharing). Clicking on the “Roadmap” will open Roadmap.center and then you can modify the lesson as you see fit. (You will need to log into Roadmap.center with a Google email account.) Roadmap.center is a free, device-independent platform. Visit the Intergalactic Mobile Learning Center for more information: https://imlc.io
