__**Tech Final Project**__ My final project that I am creating is for a forth grade social studies class. I am planning on having the students use Microsoft Publisher to create a poster on one of the United States Presidents. Students will be given a website to find information for their poster. The poster must be attractive and include in it the birthdate, rank of presidency, two interesting facts, picture of the president, and two related clip arts. The website the children will be using for finding their information is socialstudiesforkids.com.

My rubric worked great for grading my fourth grade class. I wanted to make sure that it was simple and that it focused on their creativity and presentation of the poster.

I learned a lot from this project. I was able to learn all about completeing standards for both technology and wisconsin standards. I really liked incorporating technology into a school project. This is definitly a project that I could use for field experience or student teaching.

Next time I would make sure that my standards are more connected to my intended project. I would also include more classroom information to paint a better picture of the class.

I recieved a 96 out of 100 on your grading rubric.
