Larry s students may make musical instruments for Jeanne s students. The Technology Foundation Standards for Students standards that relate to what I am teaching in my classroom are as follows. Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity. Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity. Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts and other audiences.
Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.
I want my students to learn how to do research with the internet and communicate with other students and teachers via e-mail. I want them to learn that you can help other students and that other students can be a resource for you when you have a question. I will have my students journal their progress after each lesson telling what worked well for them and what troubles they had. I will also be using a rubric to assess my students. It will require them to find a specified number of sites on the internet and e-mail so many messages to Jeanne s, Larry s, and Roger s classes.
