Introduction
This instructional unit will consist of seven, one hour lessons, in which learners can participate by means of face-to-face instruction or with online tutorials. The unit of instruction is intended for high school teachers who are certified by the Texas State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). In order to demonstrate their competence in the International Society for Technology in Education Standards for Teachers (ISTE-T), these educators will to develop an e-portfolio that fulfils the requirements of these competencies. Please see the various sections below for more details on the instructional unit.
Instructional Goal
Following a combination of in-school, face-to-face classes and a collection of comprehensive, centralized training resources, easily accessible from the school district website, all SBEC certified classroom teachers at the high school will publish a comprehensive e-portfolio with artifacts that demonstrate technology skills meeting the ISTE-T standards.
Instructional Objectives
1. Given “Home Page” and “Course Syllabus” templates, learners will populate the contents of each field, by means of the Schoolwires Editor with a score of at least 4 out of 5 on a 5-point scale rubric.
2. Learners will apply appropriate web design and text standards to the contents of their “Meet the Teacher” and “Policies and Procedures” pages, by means of the Schoolwires “Content” and “About the Teacher” apps, published pages will score at least 4 out of 5 on a
Education. A successful example of the adoption of an online curriculum planning tool should provide key features of the adoption phase including the district-wide support for attendance at professional development meetings. It should include teacher involvement in the design of the online tool and buy-in at multiple levels. These tools need to align with the teachers’ existing practices. Even experienced teachers will need support and additional time to develop student-centered uses of technology in the
ELCC 4.1 covers improving the educational environment by using various communication techniques. It’s important for schools to keep the community in the loop of everything that is going on within the school. The easiest ways to keep up with community members now a days is my using social media. The school website is also a great to get information out to the community. To meet this standard I evaluated 3 different school websites to my current one. This allowed me to evaluate what makes a website more attractive and easy to access the state requirement information. The school website can be used as a great resources for the school and community.
During web based instructional design (WBID) and development, formative evaluation will occur from school experts including the schools technology manager, assistant principal of curriculum, and the business department chair. They will review the materials presented in the WBI (web based instruction) elements for design, content, graphics, structure, message, and technical specifications. Formative of the final WBI prototype will take place as a small group of students (one section) field test the WBI over a term. Test and assignment scores, student participation, surveys, and discussions with students will assist with determining the relative successes and failures of the program as well as areas that need improvement.
The author uses his teaching Bible experience to explain how it works. Three steps are presented to teach students good judgment.
There are many different strategies that an instructor can use in ELL classrooms or in classrooms in which ELL students have been mainstreamed. As always, instructors are called upon to constantly modify their curriculum and instruction in order to meet the needs of each individual learner. This is made more possible if the instructor has more knowledge of different teaching methods and strategies. There are many possible research sources that offer ideas, methods and strategies for everyday use in an ELL classroom. Several of the more common or functional strategies will be discussed here.
The instructional setting is an elementary school located in a middle class neighborhood. Technological information will be presented to an audience of educators, administrators, specialist, and instructional aids.

The system provides teachers and administrators the possibility to build web pages to create files, and links to facilitate the use of different resources such as videos and external websites. One example is the used of The Common Core States Standards Curriculum. It was implemented because students were getting to college with little preparation. There was the need to prepare students effectively to get prepare before arriving at college level. “The goal was to create a set of Career and College Readiness Standards in Mathematics and
One of the U.S. educational challenges of today is meeting the educational needs of the English language learners. This growing diverse population of English learners has to simultaneously learn to build their English language proficiency and the content area within their grade level standard. This makes it a double challenge for them and their teachers. After observing a lesson based on a video simulation of a classroom, I will discuss five components: comprehensible input, ongoing specific and immediate feedback, grouping structures and techniques, building background and vocabulary development and student engagement that were integrated into the lesson. I will then discuss what methods and techniques should be utilized when
A technique that is critical for success in an ELL classroom is scaffolding. This is a technique that is similar to the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) which is the difference between a student’s lone accomplishment and what the student could achieve with the assistance of someone who has more experience or knowledge (Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2008). Teachers utilize this technique by providing a lot of support in the earliest stages of introducing a new
This artifact was developed for the pre-service teacher to learn how to organize and carefully execute the implementation of technology in the classroom. Knowledge acquired from courses throughout the term of the Miami Dade College Exceptional Student Education program facilitated the development of this project. Ensuring a detailed plan in position will benefit prospective students and assist them thrive in the classroom. It will also aid in easing the anxiety which a new teacher may encounter without having a predetermined plan.
Technology is becoming increasingly decentralized allowing for information to be accessed anywhere at anytime. Computer and communication technologies are an increasingly ubiquitous part of instruction across many disciplines necessitating a more flexible and mobile deployment
After meeting with the team of instructional coaches in my district, the tech integration specialists, the building principal, and the building leadership team (there have been a lot of meeting – I’m sensing a trend), I have begun to formulate my thoughts on what it means to be an instructional technology coach and how I can best serve my school. As I start my journey with this role, I consider myself
Digital downloads are a cost effective way to incorporate new curriculum into any educational environment. On this sheet, you’ll find some additional instructions and the materials you’ll need to have on hand for all the activities in this curriculum.
A leader must first of all be able to model the techniques and processes that they want their teachers to employ with the students. For this reason leaders should use an effective board spectrum of educational tools to help teachers reach students of the 21st century. One of the great tools being used today is the increase in the amount of technology used in the classroom. From iPad to chromo books to cellphones teachers are using these forms of technology to enhance and deliver grade level curriculum (Korach, Agans 2011 216-233).
