We used the Standard Use Infromation and Communications Technology. We did a health and computer activity. The students reseached on the internet a health topic of interest to them. Then, they wrote reports or articles about their topic and published them to the web. It was fun and the students learned a great deal, so did I. Just go to www.literacytech.org/teacherjournal.html.
