2. AECT STANDARD 1:DESIGN
Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to design conditions for learning by
applying principles of instructional systems
design, message design, instructional strategies,
and learner characteristics.
3. AECT STANDARD 1:DESIGN
Each of these items were designed for a specific
audience, school district stakeholders and the
AdvancED accreditation team, my district'sTitle I
Parents, and teachers who work withTitle I Families.
Identifying these learners/audiences, their needs,
goals, and abilities, technical constraints, and
organizational goals has taught me to look for a
balance between the necessary and the desirable. I
am able to select an objectively "best" method when
available or scale down to a suitable delivery when
required.
6. AECT STANDARD 2: DEVELOPMENT
Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to develop instructional materials
and experiences using print, audiovisual,
computer-based, and integrated technologies.
7. AECT STANDARD 2: DEVELOPMENT
These artifacts represent two styles of online
communication, the first demonstrates how I modified
instruction to use a variety of materials and formats to teach
the same lesson I had previously presented in person and in a
low-tech format.The accessible newsletter demonstrates a
commitment to accessible technology, professional
presentations, and professional knowledge.
Additionally, the portfolio itself, addresses indicators
2.0.1, 2.0.7, 2.2.1, and 2.4.5 because I used the ADDIE design
model process as required by EDET 793 to design and
develop the portfolio site, using the AECT standards to
inform my decisions as to the artifacts to include and delivery
methods.Within this site you will find a wide variety of links
to other websites, videos, pdfs, and images.
10. AECT STANDARD 3: UTILIZATION
Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to use processes and resources for
learning by applying principles and theories of
media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and
policy-making.
11. AECT STANDARD 3: UTILIZATION
These artifacts were designed during different time
periods, for different audiences, for different
purposes and those differences are evident.
The essays identify policies and procedures to
manage technological resources and instructional
implementation and include evaluation of local
resources.
The parenting lesson is still in progress but clearly
demonstrates identification and application of
creator's rights (copyright, etc.) and take advantage
of fair use and application of relevant policies.
14. AECT STANDARD 4: MANAGEMENT
Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to plan, organize, coordinate, and
supervise instructional technology by applying
principles of project, resource, delivery system,
and information management.
15. AECT STANDARD 4: MANAGEMENT
These artifacts demonstrate two experiences in group
projects, the latter is more recent, the first artifact
produced and acceptable product and taught me
the basics of long-distance group work, including
what not to do.
The second artifact reflects as successful, productive,
collaborative working experience that was well
managed by and effective group leader that serves
as a good example of what I plan to do in the future.
18. AECT STANDARD 5: EVALUATION
Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to evaluate the adequacy of
instruction and learning by applying principles of
problem analysis, criterion-referenced
measurement, formative and summative
evaluation, and long-range planning.
19. AECT STANDARD 5: EVALUATION
The first artifact for this section demonstrates the use ofWeb 2.0
tools to design assessments that challenge, entertain, and truly
evaluate understanding.
The quizlet activity is one of the assessments that can be
completed for the Anti Cyberbullying for Parents lesson (in
addition to a paper based pdf or game-style assessment also
available via quizlet).
The second artifact details my application of process analysis
skills to improve instruction based on an understanding of
learner characteristics and instructional design.These artifacts
highlight my understanding that today's learners value choice
and Universal Design encourages multiple means of action and
expression - more that one way to show what you know!
