T.A.P Lessons

T.A.P. Lesson Library

The Learnicsᴵᴸ T.A.P. Lesson Library is a collection of lessons developed by our Teacher Ambassadors which focus on the use of the Insight Link during student online research.

We utilize the FCPS Research Process Skills to identify online research skills that students will develop during the course of the lesson:

We emphasize using LearnicsIL as a teacher and student reflection tool during the learning process:

Student discussions on Insight links
Teacher assistance for specific students
Teacher data reflection for further teaching on the lesson
Teacher data reflection for lesson improvements/changes
