CO-PBST+7

This assignment is to reflect on the CO-PBST 7 section of the CO-PBST to show how we did each of these points of teaching.

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. This standard was met by a couple of assignments done this semester. The web quest, and the annotated resource set gave instructions for the students through websites and online resources. The web quest involved designing a website that the students could access.

7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. The annotated resource set was a project that used the Library of Congress for an online research resource. By having this resource available online, the students can access it from any computer with internet. Also the smart notebook is an interactive way for students to learn and achieve through hands on learning and interaction.

7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. The podcast is a good example of how to communicate information to students who might not be able to make it to class. As well as the digital story telling project, these both share information through recorded voice.

7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. The rubric section of the web quest is a place where assessment is given based on the students' work for the assignment. It helps them know what is going to be graded and helps them focus on what is being taught.

7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. The web quest, and ARS assignments address this by showing them how to search the internet more efficiently for their subject. The web quest helps you focus on some key points while the ARS gives a great resource to do research.
