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 School.

I used a digital camera to take a picture of myself. I also scanned a photo onto the computer and edited the photos on Adobe print shop. The date of the internships were put in there, clip art was added, and put information about myself.

Impact

When I teach I can use Microsoft Publisher to make newsletters and announcements. I can communicate with the parents of the students this way and they can learn about who I am as a person.

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 this newsletter allows me to communicate with parents using technology.
