Reflection
After reading students stories I found that 16-22 students applied the effective editing tools
and skills. For the remaining students, comments were given on their stories for what still
needed some editing. Students also received a checklist that required them to use google
read and write to read their stories to the, spellcheck, and peer revision. Following these
additional opportunities of editing, all students were able to effectively develop and
strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new
approach.

Teaching Standards and Rationale

Standard #3: Learning Environments 3(m)- Students were instructed to use several
different technology tools to edit their stories. Students using their Google Chromebooks to
write their stories and receive feedback is also why this standard is addressed in this
lesson.
Standard #11: ISTE standard 11.2 (a)- By using my own computer to create the lesson
and give feedback and students using their Google Chromebooks, I was able to evaluate
the effectiveness of this lesson based on if their were any editing left to do following
students completion of the checklist. This process helped students develop their writing
skills. Students also used several technology tools to edit their stories.
