CO-PBST+7

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. I have meet this standard by developing a SmartBoard lesson plan based on Colorado Math standard for 3rd Grade. The lesson was then presented on the SmartBoard using many of the tools and aspects of the SmartBoard that make affective for teachers, thus I have the skill to apply technology to the delivery of standard-based instruction. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement To meet this standard I developed a WebQuest based on Colorado state history in which students would complete this assignment in groups on an internet based search. The variety that the students are able to complete this assignment allows them work in a way that works best for them, while still learning valuable skills. Therefore I have the ability to use technology to increase student achievement. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. To meet this standard I created a Digital Story that taught about the 7 continents. This Digital Story was useful to let students watch and review or prepare for a test. Therefore I have the ability to utilize technology to manage and communicate information. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. To meet this standard I created two grading rubric for my WebQuest using technology. These rubrics give students the information that they will be graded on also giving them points and how they are divided up. This skill helps me apply technology to data-driven assessment of learning. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. To meet this standard I created a WebQuest that requires students to search the internet and use online resources to find information. This WebQuest helps students in basic technology skills and gives me the ability to instruct them for those skills.

This artifact is about how I am prepared to teach students and meet the Colorado technology standards for teachers.
