 Rationale for Newsletter

Context

Using Microsoft Publisher, I created a 1-page newsletter to send home with he students in my block internship at Mountain View Elementary School. I used a digital camera to take a picture of myself which I scanned and then pasted into the newsletter. I edited my picture in Adobe Photo Shop. I included information about myself and sent the newsletter home to the student's parents/guardians.

Impact

When I teach I can use Microsoft Publisher to send home newsletters. This is a great way to communicate with parents.

Alignment

I have met competency VC because creating newsletters on a computer is much more efficient than using paper and pencil. I can reuse this newsletter from year to year and change it as I need to.

I have met NETS-T competency VD and NCDPI standard for elementary educators #16, indicator 3 because the newsletter allows me to communicate with parents using technology.
