Review of the Standards and what projects/resources might fit:

 * 1) 5 – Digital Citizenship: Students understand issues related to technology (ethical, legal)
 * Connect with learning that has occurred in special areas – holding students accountable for following/using the legal/ethical standards and technology skills
 * Daily skills reinforced during the use of technology
