 Select and Use the Appropriate Tools and
Digital Resources to Accomplish a Variety of
Tasks and to Solve Problems. (3,4,6)

 Students can learn by

interacting and participating
in the classroom by playing
interactive computer games.

 Students can choose the

categories that interest
them and in so doing would
create a fun and interactive
learning environment.
Participate in a cooperative learning project
in an online community. (2)

 Learning goes beyond the classroom and

students with instant messaging and
social bookmarking can collaborate on
assignments and projects.
 Students will learn from each other as
they share and gather information outside
of the classroom.
Gather data, examine patterns, and apply
information for decision making using digital tools
and resources. (1,4)

 Students can acquire and

reinforce valuable problem
solving skills working
independently and as a
group with computer
programs.
 Students can get visual
and step by step
instruction to further
enhance key concepts and
applications to solve
mathematical problems.
Describe and illustrate a content-related concept or
process using a model, simulation, or concept-
mapping software. (1,2)

 I think introducing students to an economic

simulator using a stock market game will
be a valuable tool learning financial
responsibility.

 Gives students ability to invest in a

hypothetical online portfolio learning
economic and financial concepts they will
use forever.
