Thing #1

Today I spend time reading the READING AND MEDIA LITERACY SCOPE AND SEQUENCE FOR GRADES 9-12. The tree Chart shows the STRAND, STANDARD, BENCHMARKS, ISTE,AASL, MN CONTENT STANDARDS AND RESOURCES.

I next read the reseach process scope and sequence. The tree chart provides the same criterias.

I finaly read the RESPONSIBLE USE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE. ALSO THE TREE CHART SHOWS THE 7 COLUMNS ,the same way the first 2 Rs were presented.

The charts help me to understand more about working with students to meet the standards and to be more responsible users.
I have a plan to teach my students to be responsible users when they work on any reseach project.

*I will have blog and able to control the publishing of each entry my self.

Blogs can enhance learning and increase motivation in literacy and across the curriculum. Imagine the opportunities that blogging can bring into the classroom:Posts,comment back, ways to use weblogs in education, using wiki on improving instruction. I beleive blogs offer a gtreat potental to transform learning and teaching. It's about new literacy appropriate for this time. I will teach my students to blog and converse about literacy in lass. The ability to post and also to direct the blog will make my students proud of them-selves. To achieve this goal , I would need the assistance of my team:Bob and Terry.

They are searching for information from the websites , interviewing thier elders and reading at list a book or an encyclopedia. We are using the PowerPoint. I asked Bob Peterson, our media specialist to team work with me. He is such a great team worker to work with.
