We feel that we should receive all the points for this unit. According to our rubric, we have met and exceeded the required components: title, description, timeline, explanation of how unit addresses technology and content standards, lesson plans, assessment tools, instructor rubric and posting to a website. Our unit uses multiple forms of media and technology tools including, blogging, GarageBand, iMovie, and the Internet. This unit integrates music, technology, reading, language arts, and composition. This unit is an ambitious undertaking that can be used by others, but may need to be broken down into more separate sections for a beginning teacher.
