 =  Lessons incorporating technology with reference to the ISTE goals for students ,the NETS for Students profiles 2007 and the BC IRPs   = August 25, 2010 Below I list some examples of lessons that I would use with my core grade 6/7 class that incorporate technology. These lessons revolve around my Field Study question: How can I encourage the development of relationships amongst students in my core grade 6/7 class? Firstly, I will relate these lessons to the ISTE standards and profiles for students aged 11-14 and then to the BC Curriculum IRPs for Language Arts and Social Responsibility.

Pair grade six and seven students, have them interview each other and gather information about their families, interests, hobbies on a prefabricated document 2.)
