Program standards associated with EDTECH 541 coursework
Standard | Indicator | Artifacts |
AECT Standard 1 (Content Knowledge): Candidates demonstrate the knowledge necessary to create, use, assess, and manage theoretical and practical applications of educational technologies and processes. All of the projects completed for this course fell into the Using and Evaluating categories of AECT Standard 1. I researched the technology, assessed the relative advantages, and selected the tools to use with my students in an Algebra 1 classroom. | Using - Candidates demonstrate the ability to select and use technological resources and processes to support student learning and to enhance their pedagogy. | Instructional Software Lesson Plan Google Spreadsheet Lesson Plan Game-Based Learning Lesson Plan Math & Science Learning Activities Language Arts Learning Activities |
Assessing/Evaluating - Candidates demonstrate the ability to assess and evaluate the effective integration of appropriate technologies and instructional materials. | Instructional Software Lesson Plan Google Spreadsheet Lesson Plan Game-Based Learning Lesson Plan Math & Science Learning Activities Language Arts Learning Activities | |
AECT Standard 2 (Content Pedagogy): Candidates develop as reflective practitioners able to demonstrate effective implementation of educational technologies and processes based on contemporary content and pedagogy. While completing projects for this course, I had to consider the pedagogy behind the options and how to implement the technologies. Sometimes, the application to an Algebra 1 classroom can be challenging, but the pedagogy helped me see how technology can help with some abstract concepts. | Creating - Candidates apply content pedagogy to create appropriate applications of processes and technologies to improve learning and performance outcomes. | Instructional Software Lesson Plan Google Spreadsheet Lesson Plan Game-Based Learning Lesson Plan Math & Science Learning Activities Language Arts Learning Activities |
Using - Candidates implement appropriate educational technologies and processes based on appropriate content pedagogy. | Instructional Software Lesson Plan Google Spreadsheet Lesson Plan Game-Based Learning Lesson Plan Math & Science Learning Activities Language Arts Learning Activities | |
AECT Standard 4 (Professional Knowledge and Skills): Candidates design, develop, implement, and evaluate technology-rich learning environments within a supportive community of practice. I did a self-reflection to consider the various ways that I use technology in my classroom, obstacles that I encounter, and ways that I can overcome those challenges in order to develop a better classroom community. | Reflection on Practice - Candidates analyze and interpret data and artifacts and reflect on the effectiveness of the design, development and implementation of technology-supported instruction and learning to enhance their professional growth. | |
AECT Standard 5 (Research): Candidates explore, evaluate, synthesize, and apply methods of inquiry to enhance learning and improve performance. My classroom generally runs on direct instruction. While researching for this course and creating lessons, I have some ideas about how to incorporate student driven lessons or activities into my classroom so that I can offer a variety of experiences to target the different learning styles of my students. | Theoretical Foundations - Candidates demonstrate foundational knowledge of the contribution of research to the past and current theory of educational communications and technology. | Instructional Software Lesson Plan Google Spreadsheet Lesson Plan Game-Based Learning Lesson Plan Math & Science Learning Activities Language Arts Learning Activities Art, Music, & PE Learning Activities |
Method - Candidates apply research methodologies to solve problems and enhance practice. | ||
Assessing/Evaluating - Candidates apply formal inquiry strategies in assessing and evaluating processes and resources for learning and performance. |
