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 grade 3 classroom. I made a web page as a resource for teachers to tell how to best teach story pictures. My address is:

http://www.taskstream.com/ts/dennis2/StoryPictures.html

For this activity I got in a group of three people and learned how to use a digital camera. I also learned how to edit the picture in adobe photo shop.  My group inserted the photos into a word document and made an activity for a grade 3, science class.

Impact

When I teach I can use this activity to integrate technology and science.

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

This might be a way to introduce this topic instead of a tradition method. This activity will introduce students to digital cameras as well as different computer programs such as Microsoft word and Adobe photo shop.

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 as to 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 science. 
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.
