ISTE+Standard+TF-II

**Standard II **
==== **II. Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences (TF - II). Educational technology facilitators plan, design, and model effective learning environments and multiple experiences supported by technology. ** ====

====TF-II.A. Design developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the diverse needs of learners. ==== ==== This program allowed me to learn how to conduct a needs analysis in order to determine what plan of action must be taken. We determined that students from different grade levels have developed certain skills in the use of technology and are capable to perform certain activities. For instance, for the online version of the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System  ( TELPAS), I made some training versions in the use of the system for all the students in order to prevent low scores due to the lack of technology literacy or for problems with the usability of the hardware or software (Buzhardt & Heitzman-Powell, 2005). The scores about the language proficiency were accurate and not were modified for the //“tech factor”.// ====

TF-II.B. Apply current research on teaching and learning with technology when planning learning environments and experiences.
==== I have assisted teachers to apply new trends in teaching and learning with technology and plan better learning environments and experiences. On particular case was the use of Student Response System (Quizdoms) for 3rd and 4th grades when drilling mathematics. I notice the great student engagement in the activities, considered for many students as learning games or competitions and we could address different learning styles such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic ( Felder, 2011). ====

TF-II.C. Identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability.
====I have helped teachers to identify and locate technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability based on district and state standards and made recommendations of some educational websites for math, reading and science. ====

====I have been working in designing the schedule of the computer lab and the portable computer lab called “computers on wheels” or COW. Last school year I provided training to the teachers that were in charge of the TELPAS test from second grade to eighth grade, in both Illinois campus and Sunnyside campus. I also helped to make the schedule in the use of the technology resources such as Elmos, projectors, and Quizdom. ====

==== I have provided teachers with some strategies to manage student learning in a technology-enhanced environment and support in the use with new strategies. For instance, I helped teacher to develop material and how to obtain materials from the internet and insert them in the //quizdom// system. These materials using the technology resources supported the themes of the curriculum especially in math and improved student participation ( Penuel, Crawford, Boscardin, Masyn, Debarger, & Urdan, 2005). ====

TF-II.F. Identify and apply instructional design principles associated with the development of technology resources.
==== <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">I helped teachers to <span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> incorporate technology resources to deliver instruction providing some training in the use of smart boards and management of data, during staff development session in the previous week to the first day of school. ====
