Information Literacy
Information literacy is all about recognizing a need for information, finding that information, and then using it effectively. For my class, I teach this with the concept of doing research for school. I teach students how to use online resources to find the right information and then how to use that information to communicate the information to others. This is an important skill for today's students to have and they will continue to use this skill throughout their education.
Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship is the next topic I cover and it teaches students how to be good online citizens in the areas of online safety and "netiquette." Technology is a part of our students' daily lives so it's important to educate them on protecting themselves on the Internet. I have my students explore online safety issues like cyberbullying, safe online profiles, and computer safety, through learning projects and safety-promoting websites like NetSafe Teens.
Presentation Tools
Presentation tools aren't so much a specific topic I teach, but more of an overall theme of my class. Part of information literacy is being able to present information to others. Since my class is technology driven, I teach students how to use programs like iMovie, Voki, and Google Slides as a means of communication. We also have the chance to keep it simple with hand-made posters as well!​

Digital Citizen
This standard is the main focus of my 6th grade IML curriculum. In today's technology-driven world it is important for students to know, understand, and apply all aspects of digital citizenship. I focus specifically on digital communication, digital law, digital literacy, and digital etiquette.
Creative Communicator
For this standard, I grade students on how well they use their creative thinking/communication skills in their work. We want students to be able to use their own thoughts and ideas to create something that is all their own. By exploring their creative side, students build their knowledge base while also expressing themselves.
Knowledge Constructor
In IML, I help build students' knowledge constructor skills by giving them the chance to problem solve and use their critical thinking skills in various ways. I encourage students to use their resources and show them specific technology tools to help them build this skill even further.
