Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

I have found that most activities that center around the kids using technology is a success. Of course there are always hiccups, but the benefits usually outweigh the issues. It is beneficial to still keep certain activities in the pencil and paper format, but some activities can easily be transferred online.
