Instructor/Facilitator Notes:
This course was written for students to easily follow the content step-by-step with clear instructions, helpful videos, and supplemental activities. The instructor will introduce the course and guide students through each “class” and “topic”. Fun class activities are provided strategically throughout the course for encouragement and class engagement. The instructor will allow time at the completion of each topic/class for students to work independently on the class assignments or to continue developing their ideas or websites.
Instructors do not need to know the answers to any questions. Since this is an entrepreneur course, students are highly encouraged to seek their own answers via the internet/Google/YouTube. Instructors may help students find answers and may even be helpful in working together to build confidence, help students formulate better questions, and have some fun in the process.
Instructors/facilitators will need the following to facilitate the class;
Bring a laptop or tablet
Internet/wifi access (the centers/schools should provide this)
Access to the entrepreneur course website: visit www.eteenlab.com and click on the Minds In Motion Green Cloud.
Access to WIX.com
A free Canva.com account - or upgrade to the Free Pro Educational Account. Share the PRO EDU Version with your students by inviting them using their email addresses.
