Proof of Mastery

  • Library Media Masters Standards: 

    • 290-3-3-.49 (3)(b)3.(i)(I) EDM 510 The Alabama Course of Study: Technology Education.
Kahoot! Assessments 


Quizlet Assessment

For this assignment, we were asked to create two different assessments to use in the classroom. I created three assessments using Kahoot! and one using Quizlet. I believe this assignment meets the requirements for being proficient because I demonstrated that I understood the tools and successfully used them to test my student's knowledge of the material. 


    • 290-3-3-.49 (3)(b)3.(i)(III) EDM 510 The National Technology 
Education Standards of the International Society for Technology in
Education (ISTE).

Web 2.0 & 3.0 Blog Post

Visual Tool Blog Post

One of the options to demonstrate your knowledge of this standard is to share two of the best blog posts from this semester. I believe the Web 2.0 & 3.0 blog post is proficient because I displayed information about web 2.0 and 3.0 through the use of technology (Prezi) and provided insight for how I think web 3.0 will change education. The blog post on visual tools is exceptional because all of the tools created were designed using a different form of technology and they are all tools I will be able to use in my classroom. 


  • Alternative Masters Standards:

    • 290-3-3-.44 (3)(c)1.(iii) Knowledge of media communication
 technologies that enrich learning opportunities.
One of the options to share for this standard was a digital story. I created a screencast for the digital story assignment, so I thought this would be appropriate to share. I created a presentation to share with students and recorded my voice over the presentation. I believe this assignment is exceptional because it is concise, covers a lot of material, and is engaging. 

  


    • 290-3-3-.44 (3)(c)4.(ii) Knowledge of the wide range of 
technologies that support and enhance instruction, including 
classroom and school resources as well as distance learning and 
online learning opportunities.
One of the options for this standard was to share a video. This is probably the assignment I enjoyed the most and spent the most time on and I think that it shows in my execution of the assignment. For that reason, I believe it meets the requirement for being exceptional. Creating videos for the classroom is something that I will continue doing throughout my career.

Edmodo Lesson

I chose to use the Edmodo tool. Edmodo is a lot like Facebook. The layout and features are very similar. This website allows teachers to create an online space for their students to have discussions and share ideas. The tool also allows you to easily share classroom information with parents and use Google apps through the website as well. 

I like to share videos and images in my classroom throughout the project. I think Edmodo would benefit my students because it would allow them to have more class time to work on the projects if they watched the video before entering my room. I also like the idea of having the students share what they learned in class to reinforce the lesson. I think it's important that students talk about their work and critique their classmates, so Edmodo would be a great tool for that as well.

I think the most challenging thing about this assignment was deciding on a tool to use and learning how to navigate the new tool. I want to teach an Ancient Egyptian themed art lesson later on this year, so I decided to incorporate Edmodo into the lesson. I tried to come up with several ways for students to interact with the website so they will hopefully have an easier time making connections in the art room.
