===My artifacts demonstrating this standard (What?) ===

Rationale for Digital Citizenship
Kindergarten Collaboration Reflection

===My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?) === I feel that these artifacts demonstrate the completion of this standard because they advance student learning and creativity in both face-to-face and virtual environments. The rationale for digital citizenship promotes student reflection and understanding of why digital citizenship is important. The wiki reflection models how students and teachers can collaborate to create new and interesting tools to use in face-to-face or virtual environments. The wiki reflection also engages students in exploring real-world problems and promotes creative thinking.

===My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?) === To better meet this goal and to help students think "outside the box" I would like to make use of different wikis and webquests. I also plan to implement the wiki reviewed in the reflection during our WWII Holocaust study. I also plan to make use of the tools I discovered on Microsoft live and woordle.
