 * **Creativity and Innovation** || Students can demonstrate understanding by expressing comments or questions in their own words during the Live session. ||
 * **Communication and Collaboration** || Connect to classrooms in other parts of the country or in another country to develop cultural understanding and awareness. Each class would ask the other an "essential" question and have a live "discussion". For example, to get English students' perspective of the Revolutionary War. ||
 * **Research and Information Fluency** || During a Live session students can post relevant audio or video clips enhancing the topic discussion. Students can use the polling tool to collect data on a topic and report the results immediately for further discussion. Same example as above: everyone can view a particular image or sound clip pertaining to the Revolutionary War and then create polling questions for each other or just discuss perspectives and opinions. ||
 * **Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making** || Students can collaborate with others on an authentic problem to develop questions for investigation and solutions to try. ||
 * **Digital Citizenship** || Using any topic of instruction, students would be practicing responsible use of technology and exhibiting leadership for (modeling) digital citizenship. For example: small groups of students could create a "Live Blog" on a previously researched issue (either historical, political, environmental) and demonstrate their knowledge on the topic through the "Live Blog" to later share the archive with the class. ||
 * **Technology Operations and Concepts** || Create documents or spreadsheets with charts to share with the "Live" community. ||
