CO-PBST Reflection

Standard 7.1-- Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. I met this required standard by creating a SmartBoard presentation using the Colorado social studies standards for 1st grade. I created this activity with the SmartBoard technology on the computer, therefore I applied technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction.

7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement.  I met this required standard by creating a Webquest using Google sites. I was able to increase student achievement by guiding the students through the exercise. Having step by step instructions helping students complete the project allowed me to increase student achievement.

7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information.  I was able to meet this standard by creating a Podcast. Creating a Podcast allowed me to condense the information I was giving out, and also allowed me to communicate the information with a broad audience. Therefore I met the standard of using technology to manage and communicate information.

7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning.  I was able to meet this requirement by using the SmartBoard presentation. To meet the requirements of that assignment we had to apply the project to other Colorado standards. That data-driven assignment allows students to meet specific criteria for a particular grade level, therefore meeting this standard of applying technology to data-driven assessments.

7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills  After completing this class, I feel much more comfortable about instructing students with the various technology driven programs in a school setting. I feel most comfortable about guiding students through the various Web 2.0 tools available on the internet. The skills I acquired in this class will allows me to meet this standard of instructing students in basic technology skills.

Reflection ?'s These are the standards and my reflections on each that we had to meet while taking EDU 3010. I think that these standards are reasonable ones and that they can help guide you through any activity in which you wish to incorporate technology. I plan to use these standards in my teaching just as I did for this class. By following these standards, I can now create and use to the best of my ability any type of technology based lessons for my own classroom.
