Description

I designed a prototype for an app that teachers in Ghana can use to prepare lesson notes prior to teaching their classes. The prototype makes use of Google Forms and Google Sheets to (a) organize lesson preparation materials, (b) suggest relevant lesson materials during planning, (c) record lesson plans, (d) share lesson plans with teachers and administrators, and (e) share feedback from administrators on lesson plans.. The purpose of this app is twofold: to allow teachers to create their lesson plans more quickly and easily than in the past, and to introduce them to using digital tools for education. All teachers using the prototype access it on their Android-powered smartphones.
