UEN EdTech Standard

ISTE Standard
Knowledge Constructor: I critically select, evaluate and synthesize digital resources into a collection that reflects my learning and builds my knowledge.

I chose these standards because using this lesson, students will learn about The Bill of Rights and they will work together to come up with multiple examples of freedoms we have today that people did not used to have. They are using an education software for self-directed learning. This connects to the EdTech Standard. They will use this technology to have access to The Bill of Rights and be able to read about the rights we gained as a country. They will be using this digital resource to reflect their learning and build their knowledge of The Bill of Rights, which connects to the ISTE Standard.

This tool is simple and helpful. I was able to post a question at the top and put a picture with it so the students were able to see and read The Bill of Rights and reflect on it. They can refer back to this which is a great reason for using technology. I believe that it is important for students to understand how privileged we are in the U.S. compared to many other countries. We have so many freedoms and rights. We are so lucky to live here. It is also important to show this because we can learn from the past. Although we have many new and great ideas, it is still important to go back to our original background and keep those foundations. This country was built on a strong foundation with much patriotism and I believe the question that was presented on this tool will help students see and discuss that. Student will be able to see how the Bill of Rights has helped shape our country to what it is today. They will understand how important it is to their everyday lives and how these Rights apply to them. I would put them into groups so they could learn from each other as well as themselves.
