Standard Seven: Knowledge of Technology: The teacher is skilled in technology and is knowledgeable about using technology to support instruction and enhance student learning.

The teacher has demonstrated the ability to:

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. I have met this standard by designing a lesson plan using the technology called WebQuest. I made my page about World War II and the Holocaust. Using this site was a great way of creating an activity for any grade level. The lesson plan/activity was created through Google sites. I have the ability to apply technology of the standard-based instructions. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. I have met this standard by helping students increase technology achievement through the Smart Notebook. This lesson plan was created for an elementary class about The Revolutionary War. I used games and information to help my students learn. I have the ability to increase student achievement through technology by using this resource. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. I have met this standard by learning how to create a Digital Story Telling video on different types of snakes found all around the world. This program showed pictures and I recorded the information in my own voice.This is an excellent resource to use because the students can learn from hearing my voice associtaed with the pictures. I have the ability to utilize technology to manage and communicate information to students within the classroom. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. I have met this standard by using a rubric within the assignment and topic of WebQuest. Through this rubric I was able to establish several categories where each student was to follow in how to set up a WebQuest. Each had to meet a certain standard under each category. Each category consisted of 4 points that needed to be met. I have the ability to apply data-driven assessments of learning within the classroom. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. I have met this standard by showing students the various amount of tools with in Web 2.0. Many tools were explained and shown that they could either succeed within a classroom or could fail in the process of learning. Basic technology skills were assessed as well and shown that they could create problems in learning them or could be a good resource to use to help students learn. I have the ability to instruct students in basic technology skills.
