Why? LoTi4 to LoTi 5 students are independently creating and engaging in technological learning
activities and using web creation tools. Students apply learning to the real world and learning becomes
authentic and meaningful.

Importance of technology: Why is using a website-creation tool critical to the project? Could the project
be completed without this technology? What would be lost without using it? What other types of
technology, if any, are going to be used in the learning experience? Students can use a PC, labtop, ipad or
even a cellphone to access blog or website to engage in learning activities and view art work, listen to
podcast etc. When student is creating a blog or website a pc, labtop or ipad are more suitable.
