Application Guidelines (Step 1 of 5)
Before you proceed with submitting your online application we recommend you open up a word document and gather answers to the following information:
1. Names and contact information for all teachers associated with the project.
2. Name and contact information for the school of the primary teacher contact (including principal name and contact information).
3. Answers to the following questions about your project:
- Project Description (Include a general overview and any activities performed.) List Materials and Resources used. What was your learning objective for this project?
- Describe how resources from www.ciconline.org used to develop student’s Digital Citizenship. Provide a self-assessment of the effectiveness of the project in relation to the learning objective.
- List any benefits of the project to students, including curriculum enhancement, attitude changes, research results, community and/or school involvement generated as a result.
- Does the project tie to State Standards? If so, how?
- If this is a team application, describe each team member’s contribution to the overall project.
Once you have written your answers you can proceed to complete this application online.
Note that you can use the copy and paste function to transfer the answer to each question from the word document you created into the application. You cannot begin the online application process and save it, return later and complete it; therefore, you must be prepared to submit the information requested all at one time.
