Instructional Technology Intent
While the intent and focus for this Technology Portfolio is to show the learned ideas of the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS* T) and their Performance Indicators for Teachers. The overall concepts developed will allow me the opportunity to teach my students using the knowledge of design and creativity to implement and assess while engaging and improving my student's learning. I have designed, developed and critiqued projects and models for students, colleagues and school community. More specific, this portfolio represents the instruction and the implementation of lesson design that will effectively help integrate technology into the theater curriculum.
The overall evaluation for this portfolio is structured to measure how the models and lesson designs effectively create technology centered lessons for my students. The selected coursework/projects were chosen to display the Conceptual Framework of the University of West Georgia's MEDT program of Instructional Technology.
The following UWG Conceptual Framework descriptors are covered in this selected portfolio project. This portfolio will show that I have demonstrated achievement in the Masters' Instructional Technology areas of:
-
decision making: selecting topic areas to design and develop instructional materials for technology-infused lesson plans
-
leadership: enhancing my knowledge and skills in instructional technology in order to integrate technology more extensively and to assist others as needed, developing technology infused lesson plans and instructional materials to enhance the teaching/learning process and motivation in the schools or work place
-
being adaptive: changing educational practices to meet the needs of learners
-
collaboration: working with colleagues and stakeholders to plan and carry out school improvements in technology
-
cultural sensitivity: adapting interventions and technology innovations to meet the needs of diverse learners
-
knowledge: drawing on pedagogical, content, and professional knowledge, including knowledge from others’ postings, in the conferences when developing technology centered lessons
-
being proactive: implementing new interventions and innovations in technology to better serve learners
-
reflection: engaging in ongoing, continuous reflection related to technology to determine the effectiveness of interventions/ innovations and school changes that are needed to more effectively integrate technology into the curriculum
