Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

Rationale/Reflection
InTASC Standard: Standard #5: Application of Content
The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing
perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative
problem solving related to authentic local and global issues.

Brief Description of Evidence: Participated in many different discussions about
new forms of learning and presented on Bookless classrooms. I collaborated
with other classmates to construct a classroom of the future.


Analysis of What I Learned: I learned how to apply different technology to
improve students engagement and curiosity. During my presentation I learned
how to respond when an administration says the digital way is too expensive.
With my knowledge that I have gained from this class I have become more
aware of the digital world around me and how we interact with it. Given the
vast base of current, up-to-date knowledge it possesses, why not exploit it to its
fullest potential and not allow ourselves to be bound by ways of the past.


How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the InTASC Standard:
This demonstrates my competence in this InTASC Standard area because I used
all the aforementioned skills to develop the content, in which I presented or
was a part of the discussion,
