V.
Integrating Technology into the Curriculum
and Instruction
Design,
implement and assess learning
experiences that incorporate use of technology
in a
curriculum-related instructional activity to
support
understanding, inquiry, problem solving,
communication and/or collaboration.
|
1.
Assess students’ learning/ instructional
needs to identify the appropriate technology for instruction.
Perform an Interest Survey to identify what technology would
be appropriate for each learner.
2.
Evaluate technology materials and media to
determine their most appropriate instructional use.
Review the technology materials and media to categorize the
appropriate use for the lesson.
3.

for integrating technology into instruction.
Integrate my technology management background with my
teaching experience to best implement classroom management.
5.
Select and use appropriate technology to
support content-specific student learning outcomes.
Provide a clear understanding of the expected learning
outcomes pertaining to the lesson.
6.
Develop an appropriate assessment for
measuring student outcomes through the use of technology.
Provide students with an appropriate formative assessment like
short-answer questions, questioning, discussion, exit/admit slips, graphic
organizers, etc. to measure the student outcomes as the technology is being
used.
7.
Manage a technology-enhanced environment
to maximize student learning.
Encourage the use of technology when appropriate. Provide
students with resources inside and outside of the classroom to encourage
continuous learning.
|
