 * Concentrate on teaching the educational concepts and not the features first when showing the activities when speaking to the participants. Show them how this activity is being used to teach a concept and then show them how the feature we embedded supports that activity.

After showing our premade Seasonal activity take a poll and see what they want to modify and do that one as a group. Put up the posters then. "What other ways might we use this one?" Let's give the participants a choice of a minimum of three they would modify.
