 * 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity**

Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
 * a. || promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. ||
 * b. || engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. ||
 * c. || promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. ||
 * d. || model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. ||

In Summary:

Give students opportunities to create project, solve problems, do research and connect to others using technology relevant to their generation. Allow students to generate a product and share to exhibit what they have learned.

Allow them to: promote, engage, reflect, collaborate using technology. -Jennifer Royer

1c. Google documents could be used by students to reflect on concepts learned in class. Each student would be assigned a page to summarize one of the key concepts or areas of knowledge learned. Students then could be responsible for reviewing that concept with the class before a quiz or test. All students would have access to the "notes" and be an active participant in the process. -Vicki Johnson

Not to piggy back on Vicki but I also see google documents as something that could be useful for students in a class. To somewhat alter my original thoughts....teachers could collaborate during a planning period and all be on the document at the same time. Could really be a useful tool outside of school as well.

1a and 1b Students can use Google documents as a means to collaborate on projects. They can be actively engaged in book discussions about plot or conflict. They could also provide examples of grammar from what they are independently reading. Students can share those examples during a lesson, for example compliments or prepositional phrases. As a teacher, I can see how much or how little each member of the group participates. Rod

1c Part of the definition of a blog is collaboration. A web log provides continuous ongoing feedback to all involved. Individuals who log in to the blog would not have to post, they can read and get informaiton from them. A blog can be used as a study tool or homework help. -Rod

1a and 1c Providing students with the opportunity to create a movie through **"Movie Maker"** or some other media would be a great chance for them to reflect on what they have learned and to work collaboratively with eachother. The project could be designed to allow them opportunity to reflect on a topic or skill they have recently been working on and they could collaborate to demonstrate knowledge or mastery they have gained through the instruction provided. It would also be a great forum for encouraging planning and creativity. -Jennifer R.

1b I think that movie maker would be a great way for students to engage in learning. When I was playing with the program I was thinking about having the kids do fake newscasts or other projects exploring issues. I mean how cool is it to have kids make a movie and then show it to all of the other children.
