CO-PBST+7

** I have completed this task by creating a lesson on SmartBoard. I learned how to use a very handy teaching tool to help teach a lesson. We choose Colorado Standards and formatted a lesson using SmartBoard technology to meet the standards we choose. After completing this assignment I feel I am capable of delivering standards-based instruction using technology. **  **  I felt that the WebQuest that we created helped to teach me how to increase student achievement through technology. I learned how to use technology to organize all of the resources for the students into one place and I learned how to create a web site that will help the students effectively learn the intended material. ** **7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information.** ** I feel that the assignment that we had to do a digital story helped me to be able to utilize technology to manage and communicate information. I plan to use the digital storytelling to create my own short videos to use in the classroom to enhance my lessons and convey information to the students. **  ** When we created our WebQuests we were required to create a rubric in order to assess what the students learned. I learned how to use a web site to create a professional rubric and how to present the rubric to the students so that they would be able to know the assignment guide lines before they started the project. The rubric used a number system to grade the students and this helped me learn how to apply technology to data-driven assessment of learning. **  **  I thought that the Web 2.0 assignment helped me to learn more about technology so that I will be able to teach my future students how to use basic technology. In this assignment we learned more about what Web 2.0 is and we were able to explore all of the amazing tools it has to offer teachers. I really felt that understanding what the technology is will certainly help me to be able to teach students how to implement technology into their learning and also their daily lives. **
