While in this class, I have been able to explore the most innovative forms of technology and develop my knowledge of most currently available and applicable technology for education. Here is a short passage on the standards and objectives of this course as they translate to my personal progress in the course as demonstrated through this blog.
1. Evaluates or plans school programs, teaching-learning strategies, curriculum, and student assessment strategies that support the physical, social, emotion, moral, and intellectual development of their students within cultural and social contexts. (TEP Standards 2, 3, 10; NBPTS Propositions 1, 2, 3) I believe this can be demonstrated through my UBD which was created after properly assessing the students and included the 15+ forms of technology used, the incorporation of the WHERETO, and the six facets.
3. Reflects and responds to current educational research on effective school practices and thinks systematically about one’s own teaching in order to make decisions that demonstrate a commitment to optimizing learning for all students. (TEP Standard 9; NBPTS Proposition 4) This entire blog has served as a demonstration of reflection and response to the educational research. In the multiple topics we researched, several have been posted to display my findings.
6. Identifies, plans and evaluates instructional strategies, resources, curriculum, and programs that emphasize the use of a myriad of technologies to support learning, assess student learning, and enhance one’s own professional growth. (TEP Standard 6; NBPTS Proposition 3; ISTE Standards B, C) This can also be seen through the research on identifying learner characteristics. The questionnaires, assessments, and quizzes were very useful in the creation of my UBD. In addition, the Wordle is available to sum up all of my research on technology to support learning.
12. Demonstrates competency in utilizing research findings to interpret, analyze, and improve instruction and school practice. (NBPTS Propositions 4, 5) My annotated bibliography was designed to demonstrate the benefits of technology in the secondary mathematics classroom. I was able to investigate what research has proven to be successful and worth the effort of implementing.
13. Selects and uses technology to access, generate, manipulate information and data, conduct research, communicate and solve problems. (TEP Standards 8, 9; NBPTS Propositions 4, 5; ISTE Standards A, B, C) The research I did on student response devices clearly fulfills this objective. I now know that by using clickers in my classroom I can quickly asses the progress and comprehension of my students.
