In order to ensure best practices, especially best technology practices, are being implemented in a classroom setting, it's important to indulge in research and data to determine the true value of integrating new tools. I intend to take time to review and research new tools and strategies prior to implementing to understand goals and ideal outcomes from usage. It will also be important for me to collect data and information from these tools to help prove and promote research on effectiveness or change instructional decisions.

LEarning Design and the Cognitive Load Theory
This piece (right) share valuable research all educators should consider when evaluating when, where, and why they are integrating technology tools. After offering quick tips related to cognitive load theory, sample lessons are provided that share how to effectively integrate tools without overwhelming learners.
Educators that use technology can sometimes integrate because it keeps learning interesting, visually appealing, fun, etc. However, many educators are unaware of the cost this has on student learning, over overwhelming their minds, making learning more of a challenge.
I learned that a lot of my personal practice leading up to this was overloading my students and this work taught me the value in slowing down and ensuring materials shared or creative on feature information and visuals that benefit learning. This is a great resource to reference as a reminder when designing or utilizing multimedia,

Overview - The Data Divide
This video (left) discusses the disconnect between standards and curriculum and educator effectiveness. A Â many educators face is being required to utilize curriculum that doesn't request or require educators to respond to student achievement and set goals for improvement. Furthermore, educators are often untrained in the area of interpreting student data effectively.
Creating this artifact allowed me to complete research in understanding this issue and recognizing its impact on teaching and learning. This is a great tool that can be used or shared with educators to help them understand the value of collecting data and its purpose.
