Introductory text explaining the topic. Could be a quote from a resource website. If so, quote text and include url with the link. highlight and click the link button to add url. Change color of this quote and titles to reflect the topic. I'm going to use this space to explain the purpose of the toolkit. These toolkits are an easy way for teachers to learn about a topic they'd like to use in their classroom. The purpose is to provide levels of depth of knowledge for the teacher. The beginning of the toolkit should be the "101" and basics and then continue on with the other resources that go in depth. A possible place to start if you're unsure about what content to provide is the content planner.
