Abstract
An afterschool book club, through these lesson plans, is exploring Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The integration of hands-on activities serves to help students connect to the story, think critically, and build interdisciplinary skills.

Students will learn the research process by researching an African American Hero. They will use the Oregon Library Information System's 4 step process:1. Plan2. Find3. Create4. Present

In this lesson, learners will use creativity as they think about future business decisions and activities, including creating a budget and calculating the price points of different jewelry pieces. Targeted skills for this lesson include career, life, entrepreneurship, and employability. The learners will describe five modern trends of fashion jewelry in the region, country and worldwide, calculate the price point, and design an original piece of jewelry. This lesson was designed for one, sixty-minute, class period but can be adjusted. The learners in this lesson are presumed to be young women or men, ages 15-18, in a secondary classroom. The lesson can be a part of math, art, or business courses. Significantly, the author licensed this lesson to be reused and modified to meet the needs of any users.

Please explore at least three of the resources on this Choice Board. When you are finished, you should be able to answer the following three questions:Where on Earth is KAUST?Who are three community helpers in my community?What kinds of things can I do to help my community?

Digital Drama is a part of digital users experience, especially in the middle and high school years. In combination with Common Sense Media I have created a short lesson with reflection questions. The lesson is purposely short in order to engage students.

There are reflection questions at the end. The reflection questions should be answered individually and then small group discussion. I would ask each group to give a brief overview of their discussion.

It's important for students to stop and think before they act and this lesson may help them see how their actions can and do affect others.

The post-pandemic era has led to changes in education, with technology playing a vital role. Teachers and students face challenges related to technological literacy. To address these challenges, investing in infrastructure, providing professional development, and developing digital skills in students are important. Blended learning, incorporating face-to-face and online activities, is a potential solution. Theories like constructivism and Bloom's Taxonomy can guide teaching. Flexible approaches such as project-based learning and the flipped classroom, along with technology tools and resources, support technology literacy. Implementing these approaches empowers students with skills for the digital age. 

The post-pandemic era presents significant challenges in education, especially in technology integration. The Flexible Teaching Solution for Exploring Technological Literacy Challenges addresses these issues by emphasizing the importance of technological literacy and proposing effective solutions. Teachers face challenges such as limited technology access and proficiency, pedagogical adaptation, and the need for professional development. Students encounter difficulties with technology access, digital skills, self-regulation, motivation, equity, and inclusion. To overcome these challenges, investments in infrastructure, professional development, and inclusive policies are crucial. Blended learning, integrating face-to-face and online instruction, is a potential solution. Implementing the flexible teaching approach involves using various technology tools and platforms, open educational resources, and digital assessments. This dynamic learning environment fosters 21st-century skills in students.
