TL-I. Technology Operations and Concepts Educational technology leaders demonstrate an advanced understanding of technology operations and concepts. Educational technology leaders:
Performance Indicator
COE Conceptual Framework Indicator
Artifacts and Reflections
a. Demonstrate knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE NETS for Teachers 2000).
Life Long Learners: We believe that candidates should seek continually to improve their knowledge, disposition, and skills to influence transformational systemic change.
Artifact: Voicethread
Course: Medt 7464
Semester: Fall 2009
NETS Reflection: This relates to the NETS standard because using a new technology is very important to anyone in education. Voicethread is a fairly new presentation tool. I had to learn how to use it as a presentation tool by creating a presentation on the solar system. The presentation was meant to give students more information on the solar system.
Conceptual Framework Reflection: This is within the college of educations conceptual framework because Voicethread is a new presentation tool that individuals would have to want to learn to use it. It is not a tool that would just come up. It is not very widespread right now so teachers would have to have a lifelong learner characteristic. This characteristic forced me to want to learn more about Voicethread and not get pushed away from it.
b. Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies.
Empathetic: We believe that candidates should be able to develop the sensitivity for individual, family, and institutional needs that will embrace transformational systemic change.
Artifact: Discussion
Course:Medt 7462
Semester: Spring 2009
NETS Reflection: Developing new technologies is unimportant if learning new technologies is not at the forefront of individuals involved in education. This discussion made us focus on why we need to be looking for new technologies all the time. In my post I explained how the educator in the case study needed to use what she had learned about the new technology in the classroom.
Conceptual Framework Reflection: This ties in with the college of education conceptual framework because understanding new technologies is transformational in itself. Learning a new technology helps to transform the way classes are taught.

Artifact: Creating a Wiki
Course: Medt 7462
Semester: Spring 2010
NETS Reflection: Creating a wiki is very appropriate for advancing technology in the classroom. Soon they will be common place. Allowing teachers to use wikis in the classroom setting will allow students to keep up with their work and others progress as well.
Conceptual Framework Reflection: To create a wiki you have to effectively lead by developing the wiki on the right topic creating the right links. Therefore, those that participate in the wiki are able to make their posts more effectively because the wiki leader provided an effective space for their posts and participation.
b. Apply current research on teaching and learning with technology when planning learning environments and experiences.
Reflective: We believe that candidates should be able to demonstrate critical thinking skills in the diagnosis and prescription for transformational systemic change.
Artifact: Using Research

Artifact: Blogger
Course: Medt 7462
Semester: Spring 2010
NET Reflection: A blog is a tool that has been around for a while but it has not been used in the classroom much. The main reason is because teachers have a hard time managing who can access a student’s blog. Once blogs are able to be managed they will be used in the classroom more.
Conceptual Framework Reflection:
Implementing a blog into my own classroom would be very much removing a barrier. A barrier that has existed for a while because the administration is afraid of blogs because of the access they have to the outside world. I understand that they are trying to protect the children but we have to be proactive in implementing technology.
d. Plan for the management of technology resources within the context of learning activities.
Collaborative: The candidate should be able to develop skills to work effectively with various stakeholders involved in the educational process that will bring about transformational systemic change.
Artifact: Presentation Tools
Course: 7462
NET Reflection: It is a challenge to get students to collaborate. I feel that Slide Share, an online program is very useful in getting students to collaborate with each other or projects.
Slide Share could also be used for the teacher to collaborate with the students on the work that they are completing I look forward to using it in the classroom.

NETS Reflection: This Artifact meets the NETS standards because one of the factors is that as a teacher an individual is suppose to provide digital age learning experiences. Slide Share is an excellent program that allows students to collaborate in a setting that is technology enhanced like a lab. Students can edit the same slideshow from multiple computers.
Conceptual Framework Reflection: Slide Share removes barriers that individual computers pose to collaboration. Many times student’s do not collaborate effectively when separated by computer in a lab setting. Slide Share will allow them to collaborate more effectively.
f. Identify and apply instructional design principles associated with the development of technology resources.
Artifact: Discussion Tech
Course: 7464
Semester: Fall 2010
NETS Reflection: This discussion was in regards to the development of technology resources and how administration decides to place these resources from an instructional design point of view. Carrollton High School structure is to make technology as plentiful as possible. For example, in the discussion resources are mainly computer labs which are on every hall. In one instance there are 3 labs on one hall.
Conceptual Framework Reflection: The discussion on technology is in line with the college of education because of the way that Carrollton High School removed barriers. As discussed in the artifact the high school worked to eliminate barriers by placing technology in almost every corner of the school and even providing some with the ability to take computers and other equipment home.
