Lesson Planning Made Easy www.teaherspayteacher.com By: Debbie Dietz

The Web-site http://www.teacherspayteachers.com This technology falls in the Augmentation using the SAMR scale. Augmentation is defined as tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with function improvement. Before this web-site, teachers would have to write their own lesson plans.

When I purchase lessons from this web-site, it saves me time, effort, and I am supporting another teacher. The Web-site http://www.teacherspayteachers.com

The one technology improvement that I would add, would be the ability to share your downloads. Many of the downloads are free. I would like to quickly share a lesson via email with a teacher friend. As it is now, I simply share the link with them. I used to use a planner to write out my lesson plans, now I use a template from teacherspayteacher.com. It is so much simper this way. It saves me time and it is easily accessible because I keep it stored on my desktop. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
