1.  Have some paper and pen or a mind mapping tool available for brainstorming.

2. MTT Certification Exam

3.  To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.  Why should we let you be a MTT?

4.  Purpose – extent to which response addresses the components of the assignment

5.  ALL components clearly answered.

6.  Purpose – extent to which response addresses the components of the assignment  All components clearly answered.  Leaving out one component will cause you to lose points – down at least one “grade”

7. Warning Danger Will Robinson Danger DO NOT go below a “3”

8.  So what are the questions?  They are no easy button!!!

9.  Before we begin, make sure you have read the case study requirements.

10. Identify three technologies from the additional available technology list that would be appropriate for enhancing this lesson while addressing the diverse needs of all students. Explain why the technologies you identified are appropriate.

11. 1) Select 3 technologies FROM THE AVAILABLE LIST  Justification for their integration (YOUR expert suggestion) for the teacher’s lesson...

13. 1.) Why the three proposed technologies are appropriate and effective Specifically address:  That teacher  THAT lesson  That population  age, abilities, needs, class size  That technology as being superior  Available

14. Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in planning the lesson then evaluating student performance. Explain how your support and guidance would assist Mr. Haddad in achieving the goals of the lesson for all 22 students in the class.

15. 2 ) How you will support and guide teacher in planning?  DO NOT develop the lesson.  Teach and MENTOR the teacher – do not do the lesson for them AND do not re-do the lesson for them.  What are some things you would expect to see for this?

16. 2) How you will support and guide teacher in planning lesson and evaluating student performance? AND  Meets diverse needs of ALL students

17. Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in implementing the integration of technology into the lesson.

18. 3) How you will support and guide teacher in implementing technology?  Do not teach the lesson.  What are some things you would expect to see for this? Think of your teacher who has never used technology before and wants to try it now... How would you help them?

19. 3 ) How you will support and guide teacher in IMPLEMENTING the technology?

20. Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in evaluating the applications of technology in order to meet the goals of the lesson.

21. 4 ) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating technology ?  Do not evaluate the teacher or the lesson  How would you help the teacher better understand how “it went?” Teach them to fish – don’t feed them the fish!

22. 4) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating the technology?

23. Describe how a technology you identified might be used to enhance a lesson of your choosing in English or social studies.

24. 5) How it can be adapted to one other learning environment?  Pick ONE technology (that you have already used)  Pick ONE subject (provided)  Pick ONE lesson  Give details – how would it ENHANCE that one subject and one lesson?  Provide details

25.  Accuracy and effectiveness in your knowledge  Note relevant competencies within the MTT test framework.  Your knowledge would be displayed by your tech choices and support  You should follow appropriate role of MENTOR.

26.  Knowledge displayed by your support of the planning process regarding the use of the technologies  Make sure that you provide enough supporting details in the planning phase  Make sure you support and don’t take over

27.  Sound reasoning and depth of understanding.  Reflected in supporting details  Reflected by the “wisdom” of your choices in the additional technology as it relates to the task at hand  Reflected by your general knowledge about effective technology usage, i.e. integration

29.  Put it all together in a nice package  How well did you put together and assess the task at hand?  How well did you perform the role of mentor ?  What assistance did you provide?  Was it within the scope of an MTTs duties?  Did it clearly reflect knowledge of technology AND pedagogy AND mentoring?

30.  Addresses ALL components fully  Accurate and EFFECTIVE application  Strong supporting evidence – specific and relevant examples  Clear, logical reasoning and comprehensive understanding  Synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

31.  Addresses most components sufficiently  Generally accurate and effective application – minor problems in accuracy or effectiveness  Sufficient supporting evidence – with mostly specific and relevant examples  Sufficient reasoning and overall understanding  Sufficient synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

32.  The available technology is ALWAYS the same – in EVERY case study  Know how to use all available technologies – don’t use it if you don’t know how  Have some classroom management ideas For example: only two digital cameras, so how could you use this technology for an entire class?  Answer ALL the questions

33.  Since there are 5 questions, it only makes sense to answer them in order and within each discussion.  Answer 1 first, then move to 2, then move to 3...  It is easier to count at the end to see if you have answered all of them  It is easier for the reader to read them – be nice to the readers!
