Educators as Designers

Ok, until this class, I never thought of myself as a designer....but that's really what I am.  I think I was more a designer when I was in the classroom than I am now as the ITRT...or at least I designed a LOT more lessons then.  The nature of seeing students for only 45 minutes once every 12 days, leads me to just create quick "activities" than to really design something worth while.   

I loved the design of the rainforest lesson!  I think I've used pieces of something like that before, but didn't design it to it's full potential.  So, it wasn't nearly as effective. 

My question is this...how do I design lessons for my students based on such a short amount of time?  Something is always getting lost. I use technology for technology's sake sometimes....which I hate.
