Rational for NETS-T 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 3rd grade 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/lowery3/StoryPictures.html

For this project I learned how to use a digital camera and how to transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer.  I also learned how to use adobe photo shop to edit my pictures.  I used a word document to put the worksheet together.

Impact:

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

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

 I hope that this activity will be interesting to students because it has real photographs on it instead of the usual clip art.

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 on 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 Language Arts and Technology. 
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.
