means of personal or group
expression.

c.
use models and simulations
to explore complex systems
and issues.

Creativity and Innovation was used
in my Green Up Project because I
used my existing knowledge about
Green Up Day and how the school
should be involved more then
made it happen. It brought a group
together to help clean up our
community.

I used models on my website to
explain how the school is being
green to show energy usage
between last year and this years
energy usage.

Also, I promoted that people get
involved and showed them ways
they could help such as making
posters, posting photos to the
Instagram account, saving energy,
etc.

2. Communication and
Collaboration Students use
digital media and environments
to communicate and work
collaboratively, including at a
distance, to support individual
learning and contribute to the
learning of others. Students:

a. interact, collaborate, and
publish with peers, experts,
or others employing a variety
of digital environments and
media.

b. communicate information
and ideas effectively to
multiple audiences using a
variety of media and formats.

Communication and Collaboration
was definitely essential for my
Green Up Project because I had to
gain permission from staff
members to gather materials and
allow classes to go out. I also sent
emails to teachers at Mill River
who are involved in being green or
who run/ran the Green Team.




I met with Teacher Mrs. Tally to
discuss data or information about
what exactly the Green Team does
and she gave me very useful
information to my website. Mr.
Gamache gave me the story about
how the Green Team began.

Sent emails to
multiple people
and put up
information about
the MRU project on
the official Green
Up Day Vermont
website.

information. Students:

inquiry.

evaluate, synthesize, and
ethically use information
from a variety of sources and
media.

c. evaluate and select
information sources and
digital tools based on the

results.

Research and Information Fluency
was used in my Green Up Project
because I had to find ways to get
the word out and let people know
how to Green Up.

I created a Twitter account to
Tweet about the movement in
Green Up Day but only tweeted a
few times. I followed people who
attend Mill River. I also created an
Instagram which people could
Direct Message photos of their
Green Up adventures or show
areas that need help.

I got graphs from Mrs. Tally about
the schools energy usage and put
the data on my website to show
the progress.
