Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
A. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
Primary Source Video.AVI from Trevor Moore on Vimeo. |
This video was is a model for the students on how they can incorporate their interests into the education. The video would be shown to the students, which would lead into a discussion on how they will be creating a video that will teach their classmates about a topic that they are learning in class, but that also incorporates their personal interests. |
B. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
This website enables the students to further explore topics that they are learning in class. The site allows them to work with reading, writing and mathematics tools that they are interested in. The site allows them to monitor and assess their own learning progress. This site would be used as a tool for students to use outside of school so that they can practice their skills outside of the classroom. |

C. customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.

This website provides students with numerous resources that target a wide range of learning styles. Students can visit this website and engage in activities that target their preferred style of learning. This allows them fully engage in the activities and provides them with the best chance of understanding the information. This site would be utilized outside of the classroom so that students could practice their skill outside of school. |
D. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.
Along with many fun and engaging activities, this website provides the students with many opportunities to assess their knowledge of the material. Students can do activities that are aligned with the content and technology standards. I would use this information to guide my teaching. It would show me what areas my students are struggling in and what areas we need to continue working on. It would also show me what materials my students are excelling at and how we should further our understanding of the information. |
