CO+-+PBST+7

CO - PBST 7 assignment We were assigned to write how we have met standard 7: the knowledge of technology. 7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills.

I definitely gained a better understanding of the technology that is out there to apply to teaching. Before this class I had never heard of some of the programs. I now feel more confident to apply technology and meet the standards when I become a teacher.

I have met the technology standard 7.1 by creating a SMART BOARD presentation. Our presentation was an interactive lesson on phonetics. Another way I have met standard 7.1 is by creating a WebQuest. My WebQuest was about, A //House on Mango Street// by Sandra Cisneros. Throughout the lesson students will gain more experience in analyzing books. They will learn about vignettes and write one of their own. They will also gain more experience in presenting topics.

I have met the technology standard 7.2 by creating a SMART BOARD presentation. Since it is interactive and students can come up and complete the games and participate in the lesson, this will further their knowledge and become more successful in retaining the information. The Web 2.0 database will also help students become more creative with their assignments.

I have met the technology standard 7.3 by creating the WebQuest. The webquest is easy to follow. The assignments I ask the students to complete are clear and well explained. If I was actually in the classroom I would be able to verbally explain the project as well. The digital story I created will also be covered by the standard 7.3. Throughout the story I describe a book the students will read.

I have met the technology standard 7.4 by creating rubrics for my assignments on the webquest. For each assignment there is a rubric I will follow to grade everyone fairly and accurately. Through these rubrics I will also be able to see where students need extra assistance.

I have met the technology standard 7.5 by creating both a podcast and a digital story. Throughout this class I have learned how to make a portfolio, a webquest, a podcast, a digital story, and a SMART BOARD presentation. I will be able to pass that knowledge onto my students. We can do classroom projects where the kids learn how to make a portfolio of their assignments or a podcast, or even a digital story. All these projects would be another way to engage the students and for me to meet the technology standards.
