Technology Demonstration
| Lab Maintenance- Add an additional workshop for Lab Maintenance (2-2 hour sessions). These could be offered throughout the semester. Students will produce a short lab manual for assessment. |
Implementation suggestions:
Course instructor contacts PT3 Trainer to arrange up to 4 lab sessions (6 hours) during the semester in which the PT3 Trainer will present/demonstrate skills, and give time for hands-on practice of the technology skill in a supervised setting. Students would be asked to develop a practical or education use of the technology skill. Sometime during the semester, the students would then demonstrate their technology competence to their instructor or PT3 trainer. This could be in the form of a lesson plan or hands on demonstration depending on the technology skill. Of the 9 Benchmarks below 6 could be satisfied by demonstrating a practical use and 3 could be demonstrated by an educational use. The students would be required to attend 2 lab sessions on maintaining a lab as well as develop a teaching portfolio.
Teaching Portfolios should include:
| Lesson plans |
| Journals that include mentoring and self-reflection information |
| Classroom observations |
| Supervisor observations |
| Samples of List-Serve, E-Mail, and ICQ Chat sessions |
Definitions:
Practical use- this set of criteria requires that students demonstrate basic functional use of these forms of educational technology and can show that they are capable of using these technologies.
Educational use- this set of criteria requires that students demonstrate their use of an educational technology within the context of an authentic teaching or learning environment. This requires thought and critical examination of the value technology brings to teaching or learning in the classroom.
