  2. SMALL GROUP - GAME: Let's talk about the standards....for Technology!? YES!

    • What are the state tech standards for teachers and students? Both are directly adopted from the national organization, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) https://iste.org/

    • Find the buried treasure (aka scavenger hunt). Listen to the question from your teacher, and find the answer in the standards documents. We are going to use a free buzzer tool for your groups to respond. The tool is web-based and called https://buzzonk.com/ ONE person per table will go to the website and enter the game code your teacher gives you and your group's table topper name.

  3. SMALL GROUP - TASK: Google Docs with your group: Link to shared folder and then choose your standard to report on.
