I began teaching over thirty years ago when technology in the classroom meant the teacher had an overhead projector and a television connected to a VHS player. The chalk boards in my classroom have been replaced by an interactive whiteboard (ebeam), the overhead project by a document camera (Elmo) and my school implemented a 1:1 iPad program in September. Wanting to learn more about using technology in the classroom I decided to enroll in the online course EDUC 611: Advanced Teaching with Technology. This course presented me with two challenges; first to become a connected educator and second to transform learning through technology. My successful completion of these challenges, enabled me to demonstrate mastery of the five ISTE Teacher Standards listed below:
My ePortfolio includes samples of my work that align with the ISTE Teacher Standards.
