Artifact # 2
Context
Myself and other block students in the 3-5 grade
band at Bethel, Beach Mountain, and Mabel Elementary Schools completed
a survey of the effects of packaging on 3rd and 4th graders. The
Web site was created on Netscape Composer during my elementary education
block at ASU.
Impact
Our goal was to learn more about our students and
to see how the results compare to developmental characteristics of children
their age. The web page is linked to the Developmental Characteristics
pages of previous block students. In the future I will be able to
access this information to review my knowledge of the Developmental Stages
of my students.
Alignment
By creating a link to the Developmental Characteristics,
and completing a survey of the classroom, I show that I can use a variety
of ways to collect information on student learning (Tech.
Competency 12.2). When creating this web page we downloaded and
cited many pictures off the Internet showing that I am aware of legal issues
relating to technology (Tech. Competency 14.3).
In the future I will use this web page as an example when teaching students
the guidelines and procedures related to copyright laws (Tech.
Competency 14.1). By creating and completing the survey I have
shown that I understand how to use different tools and techniques for gathering
information. With this information I can draw conclusions in order
to create genuine learning experiences by knowing more about the developmental
characteristics of my students (INTASC
#1). By creating a link to the Developmental web page and reflecting
on survey results I prove that I understand how the children learn and
development. By knowing the students development I can create positive
learning experiences (INTASC #2).
