The grade 4 ELA technology standard LAFS.4.RI.3.7 expects that students are able to analyze differently presented information in texts and explain their significance. They would use child-friendly media sites, basic online graphing tools, and online presentation software like Prezi. I feel prepared to implement this standard with my current skillset. I have experience using some of this software myself, and I believe that they are easy for students to learn and implement themselves.
In the CPALMS Educator Toolkit, I found a lesson plan entitled "Roman Republic: Contributions to Democratic Principles." In the lesson, students would connect the concepts of separation of power, rule of law, and democracy from the Roman Republic to the United States government. It is intended for a 6th grade class and requires a computer, projector, presentation, and attached worksheet. I believe that I would tweak the lesson plan to the needs of whatever class I was teaching, using it as a base that I could work off of.
It is important to be skilled at internet searching as a teacher because it will allow you to find specific, useful resources to use in class. You can find lesson plans, videos, images, and more that are tailored to the needs and interests of your specific class. Of the Internet searching skills I have learned, I will likely use advanced search the most in the future. I can apply this to a variety of fields, including education and my major: Editing, Writing, and Media.
