1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
**-** ﻿In middle school have children do a project on current events in the world. Have a different student each week talk about a current topic in the news. -Have students research about a topic that interests them and have them research online and out in the real world. - Situate the class room so that there are different technologies that the students have access too. Some examples would be a camera so they can work on projects, computers, tape recorders, etc.

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
- Have assignments that are focused on working through online databases so that it gets students use to researching online for creditable sources rather than just google. - Blackboard is a great tool with having students do homework online. They can monitor what their grades and assignments are so they are never lost. - Have students look at videos online but monitor what they are watching in the classroom. Make sure that they are viewing appropriate and educational videos.

3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
- When working with a technology that the students are not use to teachers should go over step by step what is expected of their students to do. - A good way to demonstrate is to use a SmartBoard. This allows the children to get hands on practice with technology. - Email is always a wonderful way to stay connected. It allows you to send files and other useful tools to one another.

4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
- Make sure that students know the dangers and positives about being online. Hold a class discussion and talk about what they feel the positives and negatives are. - Have students read and sign a "technology agreement" that states what they can and cannot do on computers at school. - Talk about all the different technologies. Talk about where they can use different technologies in case that they do not have them accessible at home.
