related to the notes. Students can better organize the main points of content being studied by correlating the notes with
the images side by side.

Appendix E: Norwich Free Academy: Access to Online Databases
Appendix E gives Norwich Free Academy students, as well as myself, access to three online databases to search for articles
from thousands of periodicals, journals and books. Research assignments are made much easier with access to these databases
on campus.

to present information about a U.S. Supreme Court case and had to submit their work electronically on the campus Common Drive.

as building and improving their skills and abilities to effectively research and write.
Appendix L: NFA Research Guide
Appendix L is the campus-wide research guide that is used to demonstrate proper researching techniques, as well as citation
and work cited formating. I utilize this guide in my research projects to illustrate to students how to effectively document
their research.

Appendix M demonstrates my use of software, such as PowerPoint, as well as my knowledge of ethical policies like academic
integrity. This particular assignment was potentially a presentation for colleagues and professional on the issue.

based on known events, making connections between the past, the present and the future. This activity also requires students
to work collaboratively and utilize Microsoft Publisher software.

to work collaboratively with others and design lessons that utilize technology resources.

learning. It required me to find, collect and assess various websites and texts related to social, legal and ethical use

Connections: Linking Social Studies Curriculum with the Slater Memorial Museum." This section of our department's website
was dedicated to incorporating the on-campus museum's resources into our curriculum. I asked my colleagues for any existing
activities they had that were linked with the museum, but for the most part created by own projects and ideas for this project.
