Rationale for Newsletter:
Context-
Using Microsoft Publisher, I created a 1-page newsletter to send home with the students in my block internship at Mountain View Elementary School. I scanned a childhood photo and a current professional photo to put into the newsletter. I included the dates that I will be at the internship, clip art, and information about myself.
Impact-
When I teach I can use Microsoft Publisher to make newsletters to send home with my students. I can also use Publisher to make websites or brochures. Microsoft is an easy program to use to make documents look professional.
Alignment-
I have met competency VC because creating newsletters on 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 NET-S competency VD and NCDPI standard for elementary educators #16, indicator 3 because this newsletter allows me to communicate with parents using technology.
