REFLECTIONS ON
STANDARD III
    Standard III provides educators with many wonderful opportunities.  Here is where teachers and facilitators can apply other technological means throughout the curriculum.  Following this standard, innovative teachers can find many unique ways to integrate popular new technologies into their daily lessons.  For example, the use of web blogging is a wonderful tool that can enhance lessons across the curriculum. 
     In essence, this standard is telling educators that if you can find a way to utilize a specific technology into your lessons that helps teach the core curriculum content standards, go ahead and do it.  The ability to create innovative lessons that integrate technology and take the focus off of teacher driven lessons and puts the emphasis on student-centered activities.

Artifact One for Standard III:  Civilization Syllabus

The artifact selected for Standard III is the project syllabus created for my action research study as part of the requirements for a Masters in Educational Technology at NJCU.  This artifact was selected because it demonstrates how I can take an everyday social studies project and integrate technology to enhance the learning experience.  In the future, I plan to expand the lesson as new technologies emerge.  Hopefully, my school district will approve blogging, as it is a component that would improve the learning experience for students.

Aritfact Two for Standard III: 
Student Powerpoint

This artifact was select for Standard III because it demonstrates technology being utilized in a learner friendly environment that demonstrates higher order thinking skills and creativity.  In this assignment, students were asked to create a multi media presentation in which they demonstrated what they learned throughout our study of Invertebrates.  The purpose of this assignment was to provide students with an opportunity to integrate technology into the science curriculum while showing off the content knowledge they gained.  This lesson provided students with the opportunity to lead the classroom discussion based on their presentations.  The technology component motivated students to be actively engaged in studying content knowledge that they had once complained of being "boring".
