What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create and share a digital product, then update it when information or feedback changes. They link to supporting material, choose displays that fit the information, and cite sources in more than one format.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can publish a slide or page with working links, a chart that updates, and clear source credits. They can credit an image in its caption, cite data in a source note, and revise the product without breaking its links.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a bare URL as a complete citation. They may credit quotes but not photos or charts. Some change colors while leaving old facts and broken links in place.
How to Assess It
- Give students a slide with a broken link, an uncredited photo, and an unsourced statistic. Ask them to fix the link, credit the photo in its caption, cite the statistic in a source note, and share the revised slide.

Ways to Teach It
Pairs publish a shared slide of class poll results, insert a linked spreadsheet chart, cite poll data in a note, then update one response.
Show a screenshot and a live weather map; ask which better shows a changing storm and where each source credit belongs.
Run a source-credit relay: teams repair broken links and add caption credits and source-list entries to a copied slide deck.
Have students revise a class event page after a schedule change, link the school calendar, and credit the flyer image in its caption.
