7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. This class has fully prepared me to implement new technological curriculum within the classroom in a variety of areas. The Webquest assignment helped utilize many tools to form a lesson plan based on students experiencing technology in the classroom.

7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. The majority of the assignments in this course lets the teacher take advantage all the technological advances in a classroom. This lets the students experience lessons and content which they would have not explored without these tools. I have been shown how to utilize these tools for lessons and curriculum for a future classroom.

7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. The podcast assignment lets a teacher transmit information to a wide range of people in a creative educational way. If a teacher is out of the class, the lesson and curriculum can still be taught. This can be an interactive quest are simply a different form of communicating infromation to the students.

7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. During the Webquest assignment there was a particular aspect which include making a rubric for the students. This rubric clearly stted to the students what was expected of them. This was a great resource for a teacher who is contantly making rubrics for assignmnets which the students must complete.

7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. I am now familiar with many different forms of technology that can be used in the classroom as well as teaching the students to make their own projects using the skills from this course. Providing guidance for the students so they can use their creativity while using these technological tools is a great resource. The students are changing on what they find interesting and we as teachers need to keep informed of how to capture their attention.
