Rational 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. 

In this newsletter, I included the dates of my internship, a scanned childhood photograph, a recent professional digital photograph and some interesting information about myself including my interests and hobbies. 

Impact

When I teach, this newsletter will be beneficial to me because of my knowledge of using Microsoft Publisher.  I will be able to use this program to make newsletters for parents, to make award certificates for my students, or to have students to make their own newsletters.

Alignment

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

I have met NETS-T competency VD because this newsletter allowed me to communicate with parents using technology.

I have met DPI standard 16, indicator 3 because this newsletter allowed me to communicate with parents using technology.
