A video that I downloaded and posted...
When saved, the file became MPEG-4 movie that plays through my Quicktime program.
This is a great tool that I could use to show videos to my students that would be relevant to a lesson we are covering because unfortunately access to YouTube is blocked by my county.
ISTE-NETS Standards covered:
3 A-D
I believe this activity demonstrates my fluency in technology systems and how to transfer current knowledge to new technologies and situations. This tool could also be utilized to collaborate with fellow teachers, students, and parents.

Honestly I'm not sure there was any ISTE standard that utilizing a film to present a lesson wouldn't cover. A very cool feature! Thanks for viewing!

Jeopardy Game
RLA.O.1.1.7
RLA.O.3.1.2
This type of activity spans across grade levels. I feel as though this activity covered several ISTE standards as well, such as;
2A - design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
2C - customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
2D - provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.
