Project Overview

Ampers will continue to take several steps to make it easier for teachers to access existing and new artistic, historical and cultural programs. The website will be enhanced to users to stop, restart, fast forward, and rewind (something not currently available that teachers have indicated they need in order to be able to use the content). An educational consultant (a teacher who specializes in technology for teacher) will create 2-to-3 sample lesson plans that will be shared on the website to encourage other teachers to share lesson plans they have created using the Legacy content. And, that same teaching consultant will work to inform teachers across the state about the free resources we have available on the site.
