CO-PBST+7

 **The teacher has demonstrated the ability to: **  7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. I have met this standard by designing and developing a WebQuest site. The site that I created is designed according to Colorado Social Studies Standards for grades 11-12. The activity was delivered through a website I created on Google Sites. For that reason I have the ability to apply technology to students under the guidelines of standards-based instruction.  7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. I have met this standard by designing a Smart Board presentation on Chinese Dynasty’s which meets this standard because it is an interactive activity in which students not only learn, but participate in games and other activities that will increase the student’s achievement.  7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. I have met this standard because throughout the semester I have been using Podcasting, WebQuest, Digital Storytelling and Smart Board to manage and communicate information to develop lessons that will enrich every student’s understanding of the material presented to them.  7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. I have met this standard by creating a WebQuest activity that requires students to not only learn from their textbooks, but also utilized the internet to gain the knowledge of the subject they are studying. I require journal entries and a final paper that assess the learning of every student.  7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. I have met this standard by creating a WebQuest activity that requires the student to formulate ideas of the subject by utilizing the internet and other sources. I also constructed a Smart Board activity that requires student’s participation on the Smart Board to enhance their learning. I believe both these activities instruct students in basic technology skills and will assist the development of their basic technology skills.
 * Standard Seven: Knowledge of Technology: **The teacher is skilled in technology and is knowledgeable about using technology to support instruction and enhance student learning.
