List of Television Resources
Context
This artifact is a list of television resources to be used in the classroom.
In class, my professor showed a piece of Channel One. I then went
to the search engine http://www.google.com
and typed in “television resources”. This gave me a list of many
sites available. I chose to use Channel One, PBS, Discovery Channel,
Animal Planet, and Noggin. I explored these sites and then wrote
a short summary of what each site was about. I then typed this information
to be included in my teaching portfolio. After each resource title,
I inserted the web site addresses as a footnote. I did this by going
to “Insert” and then “Footnote”. This artifact meets competency goal
3 of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for K-12 Technology Competency.
This competency states, “The learner will use a variety of technologies
to access, analyze, interpret, synthesize, apply, and communicate information.”
Impact
As a future North Carolina teacher, I now know the importance of using
television resources that support the curriculum. Television is a
great way to allow students to visually understand what the teacher is
trying to teach, but I now realize the importance of making sure they correlate
to the appropriate grade level.
Alignment
Artifact 10 aligns with competency 10.2
of the advanced technology competencies for educators. I now understand
it is important to use school television resources that support the curriculum.
Alignment with INTASC Standards
This artifact meets INTASC Standard
5 because I will be able to access television resources as a means
of creating a learning environment that will encourage positive social
interaction, active engagement in learning, and self motivation.
