CO-PBST 7

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction: I have met this requirement by creating a web quest site on Google to provide foreign language learners an interactive approach to learning. The website will assist students away from the classroom to be able to obtain information immediately instead of waiting for the next day of school. This will be available provided the students have access to the internet. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement: This will be done by allowing the kids to engage further in the foreign language with the interactive instruction the web quest has given them. Students can speak the language, hear it spoke, and practice with other students not only in their school but with native speakers from Spanish speaking countries. This benefit the students the most by giving them access to native speakers which whom they can carry on more elaborate conversations with. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information: With our smart board presentations we can manage and communicate information to all of our students in a variety of ways. For example, if a student has missed several classes and would like to see the lessons that were missed, I could email the lesson directly to the student via smart board. Then the student can watch or view the lesson at home and send me emails with any questions they may have. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning: Creating a grading rubric in my web quest has met this requirement for data-driven assessments by defining the criteria of the assignment in great detail for the students. The students have access to the rubric and in order for them to reach the maximum grade potential the requirements must be met and are easily legible. 7.5 Instructs students in basic technology skills: Throughout this course I have learned new technology skills that will enable me to be a more productive as well as efficient teacher. Podcasting was probably my most interesting lesson but overall I have learned many new skills that I can take with me into my classroom and start utilizing immediately.
