Ourselves as Learners: 12 Ideas for Your Classroom

Whether you’re heading into summer break or winter break, we thought we’d share some inspiring COETAIL projects with you. Each of our COETAIL courses culminates in a final project that includes a lesson or unit plan. This means that educators around the world created over 30 learning experiences this spring that are ready for you to implement in your classroom or school! 

Online 11 Course 1 Final Projects

The Online 11 Cohort began their COETAIL learning journeys in January with their Orientation Course before quickly diving into Course 1. In this first course, Ourselves as Learners, they focused on the 1st ISTE Standard for Educators, Learner. For their final project, they synthesized their key learnings by modifying or creating an authentic learning experience for students.
