REFLECTION ON STANDARD VIII

CRITIQUES

Artifact One for Standard VIII: 
Technology Plan

This artifact was selected for Standard VIII because the contributions I put forth into this Technology Plan helped to build the framework in which technology would be implemented in my school. The results of this Technology Plan called for a wireless environment in our building, a mobile computer lab for grades 1 - 3, professional development for staff, and parent training.  I found this experience extremely valuable as it provided me the opportunity to be witness and be apart of the process of planning a schools' technology environment.  It was quite gratifying to see the fruits of the task forces labor as we watched our plans come to life year after year.

Artifact Two for Standard VIII:

History of Technology in the Social Studies Classroom  

Glenn Article

This artifact is part of my research for my thesis.  For my thesis, I thought it would be a good idea to research how technology has been utilized in social studies classes have been used for the last 40 years.  Glenn's article was reviewed and critiqued and information regarding effective teaching methods in technology integration in the social studies classrooms was used in the design of the activities in my study.  By incorporating Glenn's research into my study, I was able to design a technology-enriched social studies lesson that facilitated student learning of content knowledge.
