Rationale for NETS-T and DPI for Story Pictures Activity

Context

     In my Media and Technology class during Block II, my classmates and I created an activity called "Story Pictures" to use in a First grade classroom. I made a web page as a resource for teachers to tell how to best teach Story Pictures. My address is http://taskstream.com/ts/currier/storypictures.html

With my classmates, I used a digital camera to take various pictures. Then I edited them into Adobe Photoshop and then placed them into Microsoft Word.

Impact

When I teach, I can use this activity to integrate technolgy and mathematics.

I might also have the students open this activity from the web page created and do it on a computer.

Students will enjoy looking at pictures rather than clipart. It is more creative than normal worksheets.

Alignment
 
I have met competency IVA and IVC because I included questions that the teacher can ask while teaching this lesson.  I also included competencies from the NCSCOS and I made a rubric using TaskStream.
I met competency VIE because I gave ideas on how to teach this lesson with only 1 computer or with a limited amount of computers.
I have met competencies IIA and VID because I provided ideas on how to teach Story Pictures to different ages and to various populations, such as students who have English as a second language.
I have met competency VB because I added a reflection to my web page after I taught this lesson.
I have met DPI standard 1, indicator 5 because I made a web page and designed a project called story pictures.  I can use this web page and the activities I created with it to teach my students to construct meaning about geometric shapes around us. 
I have met DPI standard 1, indicator 6 by emphasizing the importance of reading, writing, and literacy development.  A major part of an elementary curriculum is literacy and understanding the meaning of language.
