Instruction that Incorporates
Technology
Know how to plan, organize,
deliver, and evaluate instruction for all students that incorporates
the effective use of current technology for teaching and integrating
the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
(TEKS) into the curriculum.
Reflection: I
have heard it said that if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
This is my weakest area. I believe I have good ideas but I lack
the planning skills needed to see them to completion. I know that
this not only affects me but also my students.
Throughout the TATC program
I have learned more about planning, organizing, delivering, and
evaluating. Each course emphasized different planning techniques.
I feel more empowered by the planning and evaluation tools that
I learned. Now I can say that I have a better plan of action.

Caption 9
I selected this artifact as
one of my best works, because I saw that planning did not dampen
my creativity. At first it was difficult, because I wanted to jump
to the end product. Now I realize that the planning stages of a
product are just as rewarding as the final product. After carefully
planning each step of the the assignment, I was very happy with
the final results. I felt very successful when I completed my unit
lesson.

Descriptors: Digital
Graphics Unit lesson. We were assigned the task of planning a digital
graphic/animation lesson plan. As the course progressed we added
to our unit with the final lesson presented in module four.
- A brief lesson idea
- Lecture notes and student
handouts
- Step-by-step instructions
- Final lesson Plan
Title: The Making of
Frankenstein
Course: Digital Graphics/Animation
Date Created: November
6, 2003
Source: Internet, Yearbook
photos, and personal knowledge
Media: Macromedia Dreamweaver,
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe LiveMotion, and Word
Description: I thought
that a good way to learn more about digital graphics would be to
create a monster. Students would be able to bring pictures to be
scanned and then edited, a pin-up monster. Students will learn different
cropping techniques through out the process. After the monster is
completed, then comes the task of bringing the monster to life with
the use of animated.
"What you are about to
see is one of my finest experiments! But you must be warned this
will not be pretty. I am afraid that I have not perfected my creation.
If you feel a little screamish, you may leave by clicking on the
back button. I just hope you can make it!
I call my creation Frankenstein.
He is a collection of parts from many brave victims, I mean volunteers.
He was put together in my computer laboratory with tools from Adobe
Photoshop and brought to life with my secret formula.....Adobe LiveMotion"
Rationale: No pun intended
but I hope that this type of assignment will take the fear
out of learning new software and new concepts. I think that once
the students become familiar with the cutting and pasting of the
different features that they would now be able to move on to a more
complex assignment. I do not believe that this assignment would
be too difficult or intimidating to a student.
Implications for future:
I hope to use this assignment in my class. Again, learning how to
manipulate a photo would help the students learn new software and
apply their skills to future assignments.
Reviewers Comments:
Great website. I love the whole laboratory - Frankenstein theme.
My kids are going to love this. It's alive! That's funny.
