Rationale:
Our school district is currently in the midst of a Personalized Learning Initiative and all students
from 3rd-12th grade will be issued a Chromebook on or before the 2018-2019 school year.
Students arrive at middle school with varying degrees of comfort with technology. Almost
immediately they are expected to know how to log into devices and use Google Classroom and
Google Apps for Education to complete assignments. Knowing these concepts will equip
students for success in middle school and eliminate much of their stress in the transition from
elementary school.
Description:
As media specialists, we are responsible for teaching our own standards, such as ISTE and
Standards for the 21st Century Learner. In addition, we strive to support our teachers in
addressing their own subject-based standards. For this project we will help students master the
following ISTE standards:

Performance context:
The students taking part in this unit are in Ms. Sullivan’s class at Lake Forest Elementary
School. They have varying degrees of comfort with technology and have had a diverse range of
experiences with technology, as many of them moved to Lake Forest from another district or
state. All students spend one hour a week working in the computer lab. The classroom teacher
also has access to one laptop cart and one Chromebook cart and has utilized each cart once in the
classroom so far this school year.
When students enter middle school in Greenville County School District, they are expected to be
familiar with Chromebooks, checking teacher websites, reading online homework calendars, and
Google Apps for Education, including Google Classroom. Transitioning to middle school is
difficult for many students, but students who attend elementary schools which do not utilize
one-to-one technology are at a distinct disadvantage when entering sixth grade.
