1. Creativity and Innovation-Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or processes. For this assignment, I had to learn how to use a smart board lesson and then I used this knowledge to add to or take away slides.

c. This lesson also uses models and simulation to explore complex systems and issues. My lesson has examples of the coins I am teaching about and there are matching games where they must show where each coin belongs. I have to use an actual smart board and show what I have learned about the smart notebook.

2. Communication and collaboration- Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and to contribute to the learning of others.

-An interactive board could help children learn by keeping them engaged. The board I am presenting has pictures to help students have a better understanding of the lesson I am teaching and then there are interactive games to check their understanding. I am asking my students to apply their knowledge about counting to my lesson on sorting money. for the lesson they have to come up to the smart board in front of the class and show what they know by sorting the coins in a couple of different scenarios.  Because the children are able to be involved with the lesson, they will be more likely to pay attention.
