Evidence 1:

Rationale 1: This Skills List is a self evaluation of my technology knowledge; especially multimedia tools used in the classroom. For this course I assessed my knowledge and ability to use various form of technology prior to participating in the course activities and then repeated the assessment when I had finished the course to demonstrate my learning. This Skills List reflects the impact my learning will have on my students as it shows how my skills and comfort with these multimedia tools have increased which will lead to an increase in usage in my classes.

KSD: 9.K.1The teacher understands methods of inquiry that provide him/her with a variety of self-assessment and problem-solving strategies for reflecting on his/her practice, its influences on students’ growth and learning, and the complex interactions between them.

//The skill list used here is a method of inquiry that is useful for self-assessment and reflecting on my learning and its potential impact on my students. By assessing my learning of these aspects of technology in the classroom I am able to reflect on my past practices and plan implementation of new skills and activities for my students.//

9.S.3The teacher seeks out professional literature, and other resources to support his/her own development as a learner and a teacher.

//The skills list in question was completed in a course I took as part of the Master of Educational Technology program at Marian University. This document demonstrates the rich quality and quantity of resources I used for my professional development in this course.//

9.D.2The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process.

//The purpose of this assignment was to self-assess and reflect on my learning. It demonstrates the skills that I developed during the course and shows the skills I can still improve upon. This very same survey could be completed again after delivering a lesson using the technology learning in my program.//
