TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS

Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concepts. Teachers:

1. demonstrate introductory knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE National Education Technology Standards for Students)

2. demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies.

This is my teacher website/blog that I have created http://www.bsu.edu/eidm/fox/

This is our high school website that I currently maintain as the webmaster.  My web design students also get to update/maintain this site with me http://www.shelbycs.org/hs

I grow in knowledge by taking workshops in the summer and continuing my education by pursuing a Masters Degree in Educational Technology.  

PLANNING AND DESIGNING LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPERIENCES

Teachers plan and design effective learning environments and experiences supported by technology. Teachers:

1. design developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the diverse needs of learners.

2. apply current research on teaching and learning with technology when planning learning environments and experiences.

3. identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability.

4. plan for the management of technology resources within the context of learning activities.

5. plan strategies to manage student learning in a technology-enhanced environment.

This is the site/blog I created for my multimedia class http://www.bsu.edu/eidm/fox/multimedia.html

This is the link to my shared resource journal
http://www.bsu.edu/eidm/fox/foxsrj.html
It includes the rGrade rubric and the standards that match each category along with a game review of HTML using Quia.

You can click on the HyperStudio Model link to view the Inspiration model.

This is my teacher website http://www.bsu.edu/eidm/fox

My shared resource journal includes two technology assessments that I completed after reviewing rGrade and Quia.  

I created a navigation model in Inspiration for HyperStudio.  The students in my multimedia class always have a hard time when they begin using HyperStudio just because they do not understand the navigational layout.

My teacher website has all of my individual class information posted.  Each class page demonstrates how technology is managed in the classroom and how students learn in such an environment

TEACHING, LEARNING, AND THE
CURRICULUM

Teachers implement curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning. Teachers:

1. facilitate technology-enhanced experiences that address content standards and student technology standards.

2. use technology to support learner-centered strategies that address the diverse needs of students.

3. apply technology to develop students' higher order skills and creativity.

4. manage student learning activities in a technology-enhanced environment.

I created an Inspiration model for my web design class to use when planning for modification of the school website.  This model will serve as a visual aid for those students who do not see the "big picture".

I believe that in  my computer applications classes it is easy for me to create an atmosphere by which students develop higher order skills and creativity.  The classes are student centered and I serve as a facilitator.  Creativity is encouraged and rewarded.  Students are given freedom to be inspired, especially on projects such as the high school website and their individual multimedia portfolios.  

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies. Teachers:

1. apply technology in assessing student learning of subject matter using a variety of assessment techniques.

2. use technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

3. apply multiple methods of evaluation to determine students' appropriate use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity.

This is the link to our school wide writing rubric
http://www.shelbycs.org/hs/information/writinghandbk.pdf

This is the link to the portfolio requirements http://www.bsu.edu/eidm/fox/multimedia.html

I use our school's writing rubric when grading any writing assignment whether it is for the mandatory nine week writing or for writing that I incorporate into my own curriculum.  I like this rubric because it is easy to read and score.  

In my multimedia class the students are assessed by a portfolio that has all the artifacts they have completed.  They have to work through "stations" of a particular software/technology application.  Each nine week grading period the student complete a new portfolio 

PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICE

Teachers use technology to enhance their productivity and professional practice. Teachers:

1. use technology resources to engage in ongoing professional development and lifelong learning.

2. continually evaluate and reflect on professional practice to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of student learning.

3. apply technology to increase productivity.

4. use technology to communicate and collaborate with peers, parents, and the larger community in order to nurture student learning.

Shelbyville High School Site
http://www.shelbycs.org/hs

I use my teacher website to communicate with the community that encompasses Shelbyville High School.  I also strive to do the same with our high school website since I am the webmaster.  I am constantly adding and evaluating information/resources/links that I feel will be helpful to students, parents, faculty, and staff.  

SOCIAL, ETHICAL, LEGAL, AND HUMAN
ISSUES

Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal, and human issues surrounding the use of technology in PK-12 schools and apply those principles in practice. Teachers:

1. model and teach legal and ethical practice related to technology use.

2. apply technology resources to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and abilities.

3. identify and use technology resources that affirm diversity

4. promote safe and healthy use of technology resources.

5. facilitate equitable access to technology resources for all students.

The technology paper can be located here:

I also wrote a paper who's topic was Technology Policy for School Corporations.  I feel the research I had to do to complete this paper broaden my knowledge of appropriate technology use in a school environment.
