Currently the grant is paying for the modules to be put in Blackboard and Moodle so schools can access the entire curriculum online and add their own content if they wish. &lt;br/&gt;

-&lt;/ins&gt; Lenawee County&lt;br/&gt;
Educators in Lenawee County have developed authentic assessment tasks to address each of the 38 middle school benchmarks in educational technology. These tasks provide an exemplar tool for teachers to measure student progress against the benchmarks. Rubrics can be used to measure a student&#039;s technology proficiency through an authentic task, and are generic enough, in most cases, to be used in any content area in which technology is being integrated into the classroom curriculum. Each assessment task takes the form of an extended written response, a performance, or a personal communication, allowing the student to demonstrate deeper understanding of the content. A link to the latest draft document (PDF), 8th Grade Educational Technology Performance-Based Assessment Tasks &amp;amp; Rubrics, is available through Lenawee Intermediate School District, educational technology web page, at http://www.lisd.us/edtech.&lt;br/&gt;

It is a curricular unit designed to meet three requirements: &lt;br/&gt;
the 6th-8th grade Michigan Educational Technology Standards (METS) and  &lt;br/&gt;
the 8th grade Education Development Plan (EDP) requirements using Career Cruising while  &lt;br/&gt;
