In this lesson you learned about how to make your goals realistic, specific, and measurable. Now it is time to apply what you know and then creatively publish your work. This assessment has two parts. Read through all the requirements, including the rubric, before beginning the assessment.

Part I: Realistic, Specific, and Measurable

Think of three things you would like to accomplish. You may choose to create short-term, long-term, or a combination of goals. Your goals may be related to school, sports, music, or anything else that is important to you.
Write a SMART goal for each of the things you would like to accomplish. You will write a total of three goals. Include steps to achieve each goal.
Review the three goals you wrote. Are the goals realistic? If not, make edits to change them into more realistic goals. Are the goals specific? If not, make edits to change them into more specific goals. Are the goals measurable? Do they include short-term and long-term steps? If not, make edits to change them into more measurable goals.
Part II: Five Goals and Web 2.0

Use Web 2.0 tools to creatively publish your three goals and the short- and long-term steps to achieving each of them.
Web 2.0 tools can include, and are not limited to, applications related to the following:

Blogging
Digital imaging
Knowledge sharing
Media sharing
Social networking
If you are not sure what some of these terms mean, visit the Web 2.0 section of the course for more information on each, and specific applications you can use with each.
