//Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concepts. Teachers:// A. demonstrate introductory knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Students). Participated in online discussions using Wikis, Blackboards and video conferencing tools Used different tools to present projects such as computer software(Powerpoint)
 * I. TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS**
 * Evidence –**

B. demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies. Conference with Challenger Learning Center using simulations and videoconference Participated in Skype conference with Will Richardson, author of “Wikis, Blogs, and Podcasts.”
 * Evidence –**

//Teachers plan and design effective learning environments and experiences supported by technology. Teachers:// A. design developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the diverse needs of learners Designed individual wiki space by use of different software such as Wordle(www.integratingtech310.wikispaces.com)
 * II. PLANNING AND DESIGNING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPERIENCES**
 * Evidence –**

B. apply current research on teaching and learning with technology when planning learning environments and experience Utilized the Internet search engine, teacher tube and other educationally appropriate websites to create lesson plan
 * Evidence –**

C. identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability Shared ideas for different lesson plans and situations on wiki space and in class(www.integratingtech310.wikispaces.com) Researched ideas on teachertube, edutopia.com and other educational websites
 * Evidence –**

E. plan strategies to manage student learning in a technology-enhanced environment Planned lesson plan according to class circumstance and situation
 * Evidence –**

//Teachers implement curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning. Teachers:// A. facilitate technology-enhanced experiences that address content standards and student technology standards Created lesson plan created in EDUC310 that involved orientation of direction that requires students to use GPS systems
 * III. TEACHING, LEARNING, AND THE CURRICULUM**
 * Evidence –**

B. use technology to support learner-centered strategies that address the diverse needs of students. Utilized wiki spaces to collaborate with peers to find improvements in lesson plans

Lesson plan created in EDUC310 that involved orientation of direction required students to navigate through a course using GPS Managed and made changes to the class according to time used Managed the equipment and safety of students during the lesson
 * Evidence –**

//Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies. Teachers:// A. apply technology in assessing student learning of subject matter using a variety of assessment techniques Applied the use of a GPS to evaluate student progress and knowledge on the subject matter
 * IV. ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION**
 * Evidence –**

C. apply multiple methods of evaluation to determine students’ appropriate use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity Developed rubric to evaluate peers as part of Teaching with Technology presentations for EDUC 310 Put together a practical test with a GPS to find location
 * Evidence –**

//Teachers use technology to enhance their productivity and professional practice. Teachers:// A. use technology resources to engage in ongoing professional development and lifelong learning Utilize online educational websites to research different organizations, unions and laws such as The No Child Left Behind, and Race to the Top initiative.

 * V. PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE**
 * Evidence –**
 * Evidence –**

D. use technology to communicate and collaborate with peers, parents, and the larger community in order to nurture student learning. Participated in a live videoconference with author Will Richardson to talk about his book and ideas Participated with the Challenger Learning Center to have live simulation of natural disasters
 * Evidence –**

Te//achers understand the social, ethical, legal, and human issues surrounding the use of technology in PK–12 schools and apply that understanding in practice. Teachers:// D. promote safe and healthy use of technology resources. Instructed students how to use technology used in class and promoted safe websites to use in class
