Artifact #1
Context
This entire professional Telefolio
was created during the Fall of 2001 under the advisement and instruction
of Mr. Jeff Goodman, at Appalachian State University. It was created
using Netscape Composer, Microsoft Word and other various tools which are
touched upon in response to each artifact's rationale.
Impact
This professional Telefolio will be
used in order for me to meet the requirements for my National Educational
Technology Standards for Teachers portfolio. It will serve as a resource
for me in my future career as a teacher as well as a tool for others who
are interested in the profession and are in the process of creating their
own telefolio. It will also serve as a reference for pre-service
teachers to observe, understand and especially begin to value the many,
useful ways that technology can be strategically integrated into one's
classroom, and lives.
The Telefolio demonstrates that I have
had successful experiences using technology and have plans, or have already
implemented the information and skills involving technology with children.
Experiences including webpage design through Netscape Composer, digital
imaging, digital video production, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint,
and effective use of Internet resources have all been implemented in order
to create valuable resources for teachers, pre-service teachers as well
as for students.
Alignment
This professional Telefolio is used
in alignment with the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers
Goal
IA and IB. The rationales for artifacts found in this portfolio
are indicative of the work I plan to complete as a classroom teacher.
I understand introductory knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts
related to technology described in the ISTE National Education Technology
Standards for Students.
I have also demonstrated continued growth
in technology knowledge throughout the processes of creating and publishing
the artifacts found in this portfolio. This portfolio shows evidence
of my continued learning about technological advances and my knowledge
of the current and emerging technologies.
