In simple terms, these are the things we use to fill the time we have with our students. A good activity is designed to highlight the teaching point and inspire children to explore the subject matter at hand.
CCEF3 allows you to combine materials together to form activities that you can use to engage your students. As with lesson plans, activities allow you to break down the time you will spend with your learners to give you very fine grained control of the learning experience.
For teachers, you can walk through the steps that you will need to do to successfully run the activity at each step specifying things like what needs to be said, what the students need to be doing and which steps are critical to success.
You can save your activity, edit it and then recall it a year later and have access to all the knowledge your created.
The goal of the activity format is to allow us to easily share our teaching methods and strategies with other teachers. A detailed, step by step guide that will allow teachers to implement your ideas with a high degree of success.
