Educational technology facilitators apply and implement curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for utilizing technology to maximize student learning. Educational technology facilitators:
TF-III.A. Facilitate technology-enhanced experiences that address content standards and student technology standards. Candidates:
Use methods and strategies for teaching concepts and skills that support integration of technology productivity tools (refer to NETS for Students).
Use and apply major research findings and trends related to the use of technology in education to support integration throughout the curriculum.
Use methods and strategies for teaching concepts and skills that support integration of research tools (refer to NETS for Students).
Use methods and strategies for teaching concepts and skills that support integration of problem solving/ decision-making tools (refer to NETS for Students).
Use methods and strategies for teaching concepts and skills that support use of media-based tools such as television, audio, print media, and graphics.
Use and describe methods and strategies for teaching concepts and skills that support use of distance learning systems appropriate in a school environment.
Use methods for teaching concepts and skills that support use of web-based and non web-based authoring tools in a school environment.
TF-III.B. Use technology to support learner-centered strategies that address the diverse needs of students. Candidates:
Use methods and strategies for integrating technology resources that support the needs of diverse learners including adaptive and assistive technology.
TF-III.C. Apply technology to demonstrate students' higher order skills and creativity. Candidates:
Use methods and facilitate strategies for teaching problem solving principles and skills using technology resources.
TF-III.D. Manage student learning activities in a technology-enhanced environment. Candidates:
Use methods and classroom management strategies for teaching technology concepts and skills in individual, small group, classroom, and/or lab settings.
TF-III.E. Use current research and district/region/state/national content and technology standards to build lessons and units of instruction. Candidates:
Describe and identify curricular methods and strategies that are aligned with district/region/state/national content and technology standards.
Use major research findings and trends related to the use of technology in education to support integration throughout the curriculum.

From a teacher�s perspective, Standard III could be considered to be the most important. To maximize learning with technology-enhanced lessons that address content standards is a primary focus of my teaching. Creating activities for a diverse student population with use of the Internet to collect data and solve problems would support the NETS for students. These projects would incorporate technology skills while students develop higher order thinking.
An artifact that demonstrates use of technology is the rental car rate project. Information is collected and graphed by using web-sites (links are not active). Students will draw conclusions based on their findings and utilize technology to solve real world problems. This artifact is applicable for future use in mathematic courses and can be adapted by other teachers.
Communication and collaboration are components of the Factoring Fun artifact. The listserv creation allows students to problem solve and share ideas with their peers. This artifact with address both mathematics and technology content standards.
A mathematical database artifact of algebraic expressions allows for students to develop proficiency with software and teach concepts with a technology tool. The database is an effective lesson than can be modified with guidance by a technology facilitator.
To become more proficient with this standard, I will continue to research and create lessons, activities, and projects. Students need as many opportunities for technology integration as possible. Educators must provide these skills as well as the course curriculum.
