I decided to pick the "Body of Knowledge" first standard which is "responsible use of technology and information." I am fully prepared to ensure that my students know and understand what the things said online, and in media in general, can be both very useful as well as hurtful. The things people say and do online has the potential to follow them well into their adult lives. I have no issue making sure my students understand the fact that they need to be responsible about what they say and what information they are using as sources. I would also ensure that my students understand that safety is the most important thing, and that they can download software that will protect them and their computers.
CPALMS educator tool kit provides lots of tools and resources for educators to use within their classrooms. To further dive in, I picked the grade range of 9-12th grade and selected language arts. Within the language arts tab, there were tools such as lessons plans to follow with examples of how to implement them in the classroom. For example, teaching the students different narrative techniques by building tension and suspense.
Being a proficient researcher is an important skill for teacher's to know. By being a great researcher, you can provide your students with the best sources to aid them on assignments and tests. You can also ensure that you're giving your students the most recent/reliable information as possible. You could also teach them how become better researchers for themselves by bestowing some research wisdom on them.
