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. My internship consisted of every Wednesday beginning January 25, 2006 and then full time March 28-April 27.  I inserted clip art into this newsletter, scanned a childhood photo, and used a digital camera to take a recent photo.  I also included information about myself including my interests and hobbies. I sent this newsletter home with the children in my internship class.

Impact

I can use Microsoft Publisher to make awards for the students, create another newsletter for the class, or have students create their own newsletters.

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.
