ACTIVITY 8: SHARE YOUR VISION
Now that you’ve got your ideas organized, let’s put them into a format that will be easy to
share with others. You can use our template or create your own custom one-page document
to share your vision with the community. You could also create a website; tools like Weebly,
Strikingly and Squarespace have drag-and-drop editors that make it very easy to design and
build your first website.

Be visual. If possible, use high-quality photos of your students engaging in making activities

(ALL-CAPS is harder to read).
If possible, share measurable success criteria (people love data!).
