Design Unit Baseball Cards with Autocrat

Our Secondary MYP Design Team has just added the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards 3-7 (knowledge constructor, innovative designer, computational thinker, creative communicator, global collaborator) in the hopes that they will help us to improve the alignment of our units and ensure that students are developing relevant skills and understandings to the highest possible level when they follow the Design Curriculum at ISPP.

Now that we have our MYP framework and ISTE Standards, it is time to review our units and decide what to keep, what to modify, and what to turn into a paper airplane and let fly.

Because we have our units entered in ManageBac, we are able to export a spreadsheet with information about each unit. The spreadsheet, however, is not conducive to collaborative conversation and integrating movement and physical tangibility in our valuable meeting time.

Thus, I have created a Google Merge document using Autocrat that creates Unit Baseball Cards. The template looks like this:

And the completed cards look like this: 

For our next meeting, I will print the cards and lay them out on our table, along with some blank cards, so that we can sort, barter, debate, create, strategize, and make paper airplanes. 

With all the time I saved using Autocrat, I was able to make this blog post in my new ISPP Learning Journey Blog.

Here is a link to the template, and if you would like to do this with your units, let me know and I can help.
