G Reflection on the five tech standards to show that I have met each standard after this technology class. 7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. -- I’ve applied standard 7.1 by applying standards of both technology and science into the webquest that I created on nutrition. I met Colorado Science standards 1.2, 3.3 for 3rd-5th graders as well as national technology standards 3 and 4. I created the website on Google Sites so I have the ability to apply technology to the delivery of standards-bases instruction. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. -- I’ve applied standard 7.2 by creating both the webquest and smart board instructional it would make the students more interested in the subjects and would therefore improve their achievement at those goals set in such classes. The webquest would give students more independence in achieving their educational goals and the smart board tutorial will get them more involved and get them to interact more which will allow for more participation points. This is how I have used technology to increase students’ achievement. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. -- I’ve applied standard 7.3 by creating both a podcast and digital story which both have the ability to communicate information through technological means. The digital storytelling can convey a message by telling a story of historic or cultural significance or more. The same is true of podcasting, a podcast is a lesson condensed and converted to a digital audio file. This is how I have used technology to manage and communicate information. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. -- I’ve applied standard 7.4 by creating a rubric for my webquest which will allow me to asses my students on their knowledge gained on nutrition and what they are falling back. It is not just a pass/ fail or given a random number that is only calculated with in the mind of the teacher. With the rubric that I created the students themselves can know where they excelled and where there are some trouble spots that they need to work on. This is how I used technology to create data-driven assessments of learning. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. -- I will apply standard 7.5 by assigning my students the webquests and teaching them how to use a smart board. Doing these things will 1. Make them more familiar with the internet 2. Allow them to get familiar with smart boards which are becoming more and more in the realm of **basic** technology skills. In using these tools I will instruct students in basic technology skills.
