Key Concept 17:
Educational Technology Resources
17.1 Candidates will be able to locate a variety of technology resources, evaluate them for classroom use, and assist colleagues with this process.
In ET 605, we had to explore a variety of technology tools to use in the classroom. At the end of this class, we had to compile a collection of these technology resources. I showcased my collection by creating a Technology Spotlight Website. For each tool, I shared an artifact, discussed what the tool was, how to use the tool, and provided benefits of using the tool in the classroom.
17.2 Candidates will be able to locate funding opportunities to enhance technology resources.
In ET 680, we had to write a funding paper that identified specific grants we could apply for in order to receive technology funding for our school. For this paper we worked in a small group and used Arbutus Middle School as our focus school. We identified 5 grants, ranging from $1,000 to $35,000, in which teachers at this school could possibly apply for. Detailed information about the school we focused on, the application process, and the requirements for each grant are included within the paper.
