CO-PBST+7

As a teacher I have to meet certain requirements through the Colorado Performance-Based Standards for Teachers. Now that I have taken a class that introduced me to integration of technology in the classroom I can now meet standard 7 which is all about knowledge of technology.

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction I have created a web quest that has helped me meet this standard. The activity on this web quest was designed according to the Colorado Literacy standards. This activity was designed through a website that I have the ability to use to help me meet this standard.

7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement I have created a smart board lesson using smart notebook which will give students the opportunity to learn though multiple methods of instruction. Through the interactive portion of this lesson students will be able to have hands on experience that will increase their probability of achieving.

7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. Many of the tools that I used and created can manage and communicate information. The podcast, digital story and the smart board information all manage the information into easily understood patterns and communicate it to students through several different methods.

7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. The rubric that I created to access the students work on the web quest helps me to meet this standard. I created it through a website which gives me the ability to apply technology to a data-driven assessment of learning.

7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. I think that all of the tools that I have used and created help me to meet this goal. Through my integration of technology in the classroom I can assist students to learn the basic skills of technology.
