To investigate this question, students utilized technology integration, performance based assessment, 21st century learning skills, Common Core State Standards, and Positive Behavior Intervention. They designed and conducted school-wide online surveys, collected data, and created a variety of digital representations of their learning. The project culminated in a public presentation of learning, attended by families, community members and fellow students. A video presentation demonstrating these efforts as well.
