Technology Standard (1): Technology Operations and Concepts  1. The attached artifact is the iPhone that can be successfully used in the learning environment. It can be a very valuable means of education as it helps students save their time when looking for information for assignments, always get the necessary help from tutors through the Internet, and use various applications to enhance their learning opportunities.  2. Using the iPhone for educational purposes can open access to many facilities, such as online libraries and databases, as well as online lectures or look up campus maps. The artifact provides the opportunity both for teachers and students to keep abreast of the growth in technology knowledge and develop the necessary skills to operate the knowledge in the educational environment.  3. The usage of the Technology Standard (1) provides the necessity to learn more about modern technologies and innovations. Thus, I will use them to organize learning activities, for example, using avatars, social software, and Peer-to-peer technologies can help work out effective training strategies. Technology Standard (2): Planning & Designing Learning Environments  1. Technology Hardware and Software provide additional help when organizing and planning a learning environment. The artifact demonstrates how technologies can be used to meet different students’ needs, assess their level of knowledge, and plan for the management of technology resources to organize the learning of parts of speech.  2. The attached artifact demonstrates how teachers should plan and organize students’ activities to enhance their understanding of the parts of speech and how the usage of technology can be applied to adopt the assignments to students with different levels of knowledge.  3. I will use PowerPoint presentations as one of the ways to assess students, Multimedia tools to broader the educational activities, and e-mailing as a means of communication and controlling of student’s progress. Technology Standard (3): Teaching, Learning, and the Curriculum  1. The attached artifact demonstrates how teachers can use technology to address the content of the lesson and make learning more creative.  2. The PowerPoint presentation is an effective means to develop student’s creativity, skills of working with hardware and software and raise their interest in the subjects. It can be used when learning languages, as well as other subjects.  3. I will use PowerPoint presentations to raise the interest of students in my lesson, assess them and perform individual, as well as group tasks to develop skills of teamwork. Also, it can be used to prepare students for incorporating other technologies in the classroom. Technology Standard (4): Assessment and Evaluation  1. The artifact, “Presentation Rubric” demonstrates how students’ projects (PowerPoint) presentations should be assessed. It presents a detailed explanation of how a teacher should assess every aspect of a student’s work.  2. The artifact serves as a great example of how the assessment must be organized to meet the standard.
