CO-PBST+7

This semester I have gained the ability to fulfill CO-PBST standards 7.1-7.1. The following is my explanation of how I have met those standards. When teaching, I will use all of the technology I have learned this semester in my classroom. I will use WebQuest to create student-led assignments, Wikispaces to communicate with students and teachers, and Podcasting and Visual Storytelling to instruct. Explanation of standard fulfillment: 7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. - I have fulfilled this requirement by creating a WebQuest assignment, which instructed an entire lesson through an online website. The assignment met many Colorado Academic standards, including Standard #6: “ Students know that religious and philosophical ideas have been powerful forces throughout history” The WebQuest assignment gave the students knowledge of Ancient Greek religion, along with the main Gods and myths. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. - I have met this standard in the WebQuest assignment as well. The assignment created an environment for students to research and achieve a complex final project. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. - I have achieved this standard through my Wikispace. Through Wikispace I have established a page including all of my assignments this semester. I can communicate, through technology, to anyone I invite to view my Wikispace. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. - I have fulfilled this requirement by creating a SmartBoard presentation. In this presentation I presented new data, and then a quiz to test the students on their new knowledge. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. - I have learned how to instruct students to use technology. Through WebQuest, I instructed the students to search the web for information, create a document on a word processor, and create an image on the computer.
