Using Multimedia to achieve ISTE NETS for Students

Three of the Six NETS for Students are addressed:1. Creativity and Innovation: Students

demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

3. Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.

6. Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations.

Final Activity

Go to computers, open Microsoft Power Point. Create a power point on what you have learned about

chapter 9. Specify in the power point how you will implement your

new knowledge into a classroom. Make sure you have pictures, animations, videos or

anything else you can think of. Be creative: see page 242 for animations. Good luck and be ready to present.
