MEDT 7476: Assessing Technology
30-day Goal Challenge Final Product
I had the opportunity to collaborate and work with another teacher in my school to design, develop, and implement a lesson for her to use with her students. We worked closely together on a shared vision and used technology to best meet the needs of the students. I helped the teacher implement technology strategies and innovations within the classroom to foster student engagement and learning.
MEDT 7464: Designing Technology Enhanced Instruction
This project gave my team an opportunity to work with a client to improve their vision of an online health class offered to high school students in the county. This project allowed my team to collaborate with our client, provide suggestions for improvements, contribute to the development, communication, and implementation of our client's vision to better improve the online health class and help improve student learning.
Both of these projects allowed me to practice my skills and assume a leadership position. The projects enabled me to gain confidence in being a change agent and my skills in a leadership role. After doing both of these projects, I feel fully confident in my abilities to take on more of a role in my school as a change agent. During my time in this program, I got to make changes within my school. I am now a member of my school's technology team. I am taking an active role in helping to implement and utilize technology in the classroom to improve student achievement outcomes and increase student engagement and motivation. I feel it is imperative to help encourage teachers to use more innovative ideas in their lessons to keep up with technological changes in education.
