Share your multiple-mouse lessons!
Why upload your Mouse
Mischief lessons to the Office online site?
It takes time, energy, and creativity to create high quality
lessons and keep our students engaged in learning. Even the best teachers can’t
do it all by themselves. We need to draw on our community for support,
feedback, encouragement, inspiration, and new ideas, approaches, and tools—not to
mention lesson plans and lessons. You might say, It takes a village to teach
our students as well as they deserve to be taught. That’s why it’s so important
to share with other teachers the Mouse Mischief lessons you create and use
successfully with your students. If you submit your multiple-mouse lessons to
the Office.com site, other teachers can download them and use them or adapt
them to suit their students. That saves valuable time. Being able to use your
Spanish lesson on words for colors, for example, enables other teachers to
spend their time creating Spanish lessons on body parts or directions, lessons
that you can then use with your students.
But there’s a greater benefit. When you submit your
multiple-mouse lessons, you’re helping other teachers learn new ways to use
Mouse Mischief that they might not have come up with otherwise. For example,
maybe you have a knack for using polling slides in your lessons, or you’ve
developed a fun game in a math or grammar lesson using only yes/no slides, or
you’ve found a way to teach poetry or physics using drawing slides. Others can
use your lessons, sure, but they can also take your concept and apply it to
lessons they create on other subjects or content.
Whether you’re a brand new teacher or a veteran teacher,
your ideas and lessons can help others save time and become better teachers.

Before you upload
Before you upload your lesson, take a minute to make sure that it meets
all the Office.com template requirements:
·

·
Less than 10MB in size.
·
Does not contain any personal information or
objectionable content
·
Contains only images and text that you own or
have permission to use
Also, to help others find and use what you’ve shared, consider
these questions and recommendations:
·
Is this lesson significantly different from
other lessons available on the site?
·
Is the title clear and descriptive? Giving your
lesson a succinct title that points clearly to the content will help other
teachers find it faster.
·
Write a brief description or summary of the
lesson. This is not required for submission, but it will help others determine
quickly whether your lesson is appropriate and relevant to their teaching
needs—without having to download the entire lesson to preview it.
