Information and Knowledge can be acquired in a variety of methods and strategies. The artifacts that help represent me include my "I Believe" Statement that demonstrates the need for balance, empathy, awareness and methods that can reach each student. Providing information is only half of the equation, students and staff alike need to understand and respect the importance of authentic work, attributing work, being safe online and being respectful. I included an initiative I have been working on, to provide equitable access to the internet and information for all students. As we are a 1:1 school with Chromebooks, we need to support those that are in need of equitable access. Other artifacts again support the collaborative effort of community, and staff in sharing information and knowledge, as well as strategies for equitable and accurate access.
