    American Symbols Scholastic News

    Introduction to Standard 11.3:


    • “Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly
    participate in the digital world.”
    o In other words, teachers will model the responsible use of technology and
    encourage children to do the same. Teachers will demonstrate how to use
    technology and contribute to the digital word as well as how to use
    existing resources.
    • Indicator 11.3(b):
    o “Establish a learning culture that promotes curiosity and critical
    examination of online resources and fosters digital literacy and media
    fluency.”

    Introduction of the Artifact:


    • American Symbols Scholastic News
    o Every week, during science/social studies (typically on Fridays) the class
    reads and does activities associated with a Scholastic News magazine.
    Scholastic sends four magazines each month: sometimes these magazines
    are more directly related to a content area we are teaching, so we plan
    those magazines accordingly with our units. We co-taught a unit on
    American symbols, and Scholastic sent us a magazine titled “Follow That
    Eagle!” which discussed several American symbols. By subscribing to the
    magazine, teachers are given access to digital copies of the magazine,
    videos related to the magazine, and activities/games to extend the
    content. We pull up the digital copy of the magazine as we read it as a
    whole group, then show the videos. After watching the videos, we review
    the vocabulary words from the magazine. When appropriate, we play the
    game at the end. By aligning the “Follow That Eagle!” magazine with our
    American symbols unit, we were able to make connections between the
    lessons taught and activities completed in class.

    Rationale:
    I believe using technology to access and extend the Scholastic News “Follow
    That Eagle” meets standard 11.3 because I modeled and encouraged children to
    participate in the digital world. Showing magazines online displays a common
    media/news format that children will see as they grow up and demonstrates a
    responsible use of technology (using it to access credible information). This
    connects with indicator 11.3b, because by using technology for activities like
    Scholastic News magazines, we promote a culture that children can use
    resources they have access to (including technology) to answer their questions.
    By extending units (like I did with this magazine for our American symbols
    unit) and introducing new concepts through these magazines, I am promoting
    curiosity as well as the use of digital media. I believe especially for our students
    who do not have much access to technology outside of school (which is the
    norm for my students as many live in significant poverty), it is extremely
    important to model how to use technology to answer questions but how to do
    so appropriately. Scholastic News online is a great model of this in my opinion. It
    is a reliable source that most children remember and get excited about.
