Standards V:  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.

This is an area where I have experienced growth because of the TATC experience.  I have begun  using rubrics, self-assessments, portfolios, as well as delivering my course content using a variety of mediums including web pages with dynamic content,  videos, and slide shows.  In this multimedia age, it stands to reason that most audiences prefer instruction that supercedes blackboards and handouts.

Rationale:  
I chose this project as an artifact because it truly encompasses this standard of  planning, organizing, delivering, and evaluating instruction  that incorporates the effective use of current technology for teaching.  I storyboarded my plans, created my curriculum, delivered the content using technology, and followed up with an on-line rubric for evaluating the product.

Implications for future:  
I have actually already used this website in my classroom!  I chose this unit for my observation by my principal because it truly incorporates "technology in the classroom!"  Not only did I teach my students about designing web pages, but I also used published web pages as my source!

Reviewer's Comments:  
Beautiful site – and very well organized, easy to use, clearly written.  Your students will really benefit from all of your hard work.
