 * 6th**
 * 1) **Multimedia**- Create group videos documenting school, community, or local events using still images and video (iMovie, PhotoStory)
 * 2) **Concept Mapping** of Content or Process using Inspiration (planning group work, science labs, etc.)
 * 3) **Use Word processing** to compose documents with appropriate formatting by using word-processing skills and principles of design (e.g., margins, tabs, spacing, columns, page orientation).
 * 4) **Media Literacy/ Website Evaluation**: select appropriate strategies to navigate and access information for research and resource sharing (databases, directories, keywords); learn to properly cite sources;students debunk an urban legend or hoax being spread through email or other account. (snopes.com, etc.), gain familiarity with different search engines and recognize not all are the same, recognize the parts of a URL and what information can be used from this
 * 5) **Collaborate with others** using Blackboard, email, video chat or video conference to accomplish a learning objective
 * 6) **Gather and analyze data** Modify/create and use spreadsheets to calculate and graph data to incorporate into content area projects (e.g., word processing, multimedia, webpages) and/or to solve problems, make decisions, support, and display findings in content areas projects.


 * 7th**
 * 1) **Multimedia** - • Interview various individuals and create a digital biography to share with others, Listen to podcasts to gather and locate information
 * 2) **Concept Mapping, Modeling or Simulation** - Participate in science simulations (e.g., body systems, online math manipulatives, science simulations or robotics)
 * 3) **Use Wordprocessing** - Debate a topic using online tools (e.g., blogs, wikis)**,** Comment on a writing project using online tools (e.g., a blog).
 * 4) **Digital Citizenship/Media Literacy**: Explain how copyright law protects an author’s original work, Understand passwords, privacy and anonymity and recognize spam, phishing, 419 fraud and identity theft, Use online global newspapers to compare point of view or bias of the same event, • Use digital note cards, bookmarking or online storage resources when conducting research
 * 5) **Collaborate** **with others** - Discuss a cultural or environmental topic with a class in a different city, state or country using conferencing software.
 * 6) **Gather and analyze data -** Develop an online survey to collect and analyze data and create a simple electronic chart or graph from results

> use probes in science labs, use Rubristar.com to generate rubrics for the evaluation of multimedia literature projects, use digital video
 * 8th**
 * 1) **Multimedia** - Students find a "story" that needs to be told; they will independently write the story, and will publish the story as a podcast, a movie or a photo essay, with the objective of persuading others that the story is worthy of hearing. Alternate, create Jeopardy style games related to content in any area.
 * 2) **Concept Mapping, Modeling or Simulation** - use virtual manipulatives (math and science)
 * 3) **Use Wordprocessing** Use electronic tools to peer edit, ie with Google Docs or Word, perhaps a technology hazards research report (hearing loss, radiation, heat, fire, carpal tunnel) in health class.
 * 4) **Media Literacy/ Website Evaluation**: Evaluate digital resources to determine the credibility of the author and publisher and the timeliness and accuracy of the content using the following criteria when possible: accuracy, relevance, appropriateness, comprehensiveness, and bias of electronic information sources, learn and practice effective Web searches,
 * 5) **Collaborate** **with others** - participate in a Blackboard collaboration with social studies, which will be graded on content and quality of writing, OR use collaborative electronic authoring tools to explore common curriculum content from multicultural perspectives with other learners (wiki, blog, podcast)
 * 6) **Gather and analyze data** - use surveys, possibly online (survey monkey or Zoomerang) with assistance from adults to collect data from a sampling including external sources, this could be a survey administered amongst middle school graduates and their hopes and fears realating to transition to ninth grade.
 * 9th**
 * 1) **Multimedia** - use audio editing software (GarageBand) to create a podcast of a talk show that addresses a critical issue which may relate to a novel being read (gender bias in Of Mice and Men) or a global issue relating to a science exploration (global warming).
 * 2) **Concept Mapping -** use web or diagramming software to visually depict how two or more seemingly separate systems affect one another. This may be helpful while working to understand or challenge stereotypes and assumptions. Students record and organize ideas to show understanding of central ideas and interrelationships (e.g., charting, mapping, graphic organizer, outlining, note taking)
 * 3) **Publishing software** - create media messages (posters, brochures, websites, or blogs) including digital images from cameras and scanners, to inform and educate. These could be curriculum embedded or in health class pertaining to digital citizenship: advocate and practice safe legal, and responsible use of information and technology (cell phones, texting, IM, cyberbullying, and other drawbacks of technology)
 * 4) **Media Literacy/ Website Evaluation**: utilize technical strategies for determining credibility including topics such as authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency and coverage, AND model legal and ethical behaviors when using information and technology by properly selecting, acquiring, and citing resources.
 * 5) **Collaborate** **with others** - utilize a blog as a tool to engage in conversation with learners from a different culture or another location,
 * 6) **Gather and analyze data** - use multiple sheets within a workbook, use spreadsheet to organize and calculate data and produce a completed spreadsheet accompanied by a chart or graph.


 * 10th**
 * 1) **Multimedia** - Enhance a presentation by adding images, video and audio files
 * 2) **Concept Mapping, Modeling or Simulation** - Participate in an online simulation (e.g., students act as reporters breaking a story on a mysterious outbreak of illness in an elementary school; Be A Reporter Game by NewsU.org).
 * 3) **Use Wordprocessing** Participate in a world-wide writing workshop which has students writing, editing and publishing stories on a wiki and then publishing to a blog, Share documents to collaborate and peer-edit short stories and expository writing.
 * 4) **Digital Citizenship/Media Literacy**: Compare and contrast information found about the same global issue from different databases and analyze bias and fairness to the topic, Practice extracting portions of sources from teacher-provided articles in accordance with copyright law, Identify and analyze websites with opposing points of view.
 * 5) **Collaborate** **with others** - Engage in a discussion board pertinent to a current global event.
 * 6) **Gather and analyze data** - Analyze survey data, report information and display the data in a variety of ways to support conclusions, Identify patterns and correlations of data to build understanding and recognize relationships between common and uncommon elements.
