Reflecting on the Newsletter you created, consider how students would be able to use Word to "construct meaning" for the specific standards your newsletter assignment addressed. Your reflection should mention the specific standards you covered with your newsletter activity.
I think that the newsletter assignment is a great way to make sure that my students are actually learning what I am teaching them. My students would write up a newsletter on each cahpter we would go over after the chapter test. In their newsletter they would be required to present an example from the lesson and make recognition of the standard that the chapter covered. At the end of the year the students would be reuired to make a newsletter for the standards they have covered and an example. This would just show that first off, me (the teacher)is doing my job to prepare them for the next grade. Second, that they actually took in the information being taught. This is something that I otherwise would have never thought about doing for a math class but it definately would be a great assignment for any high school class.

Ben,
What specific standards are you addressing with this newsletter? Remember, it is important to start with the standards and then find the right technology to help with the task at hand.
Having students look at and use the information being taught would engage them in their learning. - Chris
