CO-PBST+7

I have met this standard through the creation of the Smart Board presentation. This presentation touched on the CO Standards for Social Studies, as it was based on the structure of our Government. The use of Smart Board demonstrated my comprehension of how to use technology in the classroom.
 * 7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. **

This standard has been met by my demonstrated ability to find knowledge based websites using Web 2.0. In doing this, I learned that through many of the resources in Web 2.0 students have showed marked improvement in their attitudes toward school and their grades.
 * 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. **

In creating my Digital Story Telling piece I feel that this standard has been met. The Digital Story told how Gibson Les Paul’s are made, as well as incorporated music from famous Les Paul players. In doing this, I was able to tell the story in a visually and auditory pleasing way.
 *  7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. **

Through the creation of my own Webquest I met this standard, as I will be using a Webquest to assess knowledge of my students in future classrooms. A Webquest will demonstrate what the student understands or does not understand about the subject matter assigned.
 *  7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. **

The use of a podcast, and my demonstrated ability to create one, show that I have met this standard. Creating a podcast is not difficult yet is fun way to use technology to tell a story or similar.
 *  7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. **
