Standard 1: Content Knowledge: Candidates demonstrate the knowledge necessary to
create, use, assess and manage theoretical and practical applications of educational
technologies processes.
A. 1.1 Creating- Create instructional materials and learning environments using a systems
approach
A. I had to create a website for my final for my learning with computers in a K-12
classroom class. The website housed all of my projects and homework for this class. In
this class I created a lot of presentations about specific technologies. The presentations
either explained what the technology was or showed how these technologies could be
used or integrated into a K-12 classroom. This website would be a great resource for
teachers that are trying to integrate technology in a classroom in a K-12 setting. It has a
lot of great resources that I use in my own classroom everyday. The website I created for
my final in Learning with computers K-12 classroom has multiple presentations,
integration strategies and assignments that show that I can create instructional materials
using a systems approach. Everything made on this website demonstrates creating and
understanding the content. I also met this standard with my ID models project and my
strategic plan project.

B. 1.2- Using- Select and use technological resources and processes to support student
learning.
lot of great resources that I use in my own classroom everyday. The K-12 Classroom
final website that I created has multiple technology tools, presentations and integration
ideas embedded into it. This website has multiple resources that I personally researched
that will help student learning. The presentations included would be helpful for teachers
to watch to help with integrating technology into their classrooms. The purpose of the
website is to showcase different ways technology can be used in a K-12 classroom
environment. I also met this standard with my strategic plan project.
C. 1.3- Assessing/Evaluating- Assess and evaluate the effective integration of appropriate
technologies and instructional materials.
A. For the final for my website design I had to create and redo a website of a business or
school. I chose to redo the website of the Nodaway Valley Community School District. I
focused primarily on the elementary portion of the website. To do this I had to assess and
evaluate which web design tool would work best. Throughout the course I used multiple
different web design tools and settled on using Wix to create my final website. I had to
evaluate how it worked and if it worked well. Wix is a great website builder to use. I
would use it in the future when building websites for other projects. To create this
website I had to also assess what items I would like to use on the website. What colors to
use, what information to include, what pages I wanted to include and how I wanted it to
be set up. I also had to assess the appropriate types of technology to include in it. For
example, should I include teacher websites, social media sites and other types of media. I
also met this standard with my strategic plan project.
D. 1.4- Managing: Manage people, processes, physical infrastructures, and financial
resources to achieve predetermined goals.
A. I had to write a grant proposal for my grant writing class. The grant had to be above
$50,000. I chose to write my grant proposal for the Nodaway Valley Elementary School
playground. I found a grant through Omaha, Nebraska that would put up half of the
money if the school district would put up the other half. I created a budget, needs
assessment, grant proposal summary and a timeline. I worked with the school district to
come up with the details of the grant proposal. I met this standard by managing and
collaborating with my administrators to create this grant. I also created and managed a
budget for the grant proposal. The grant proposal I created in the grant writing class
shows managing processes, physical infrastructures, and financial resources to achieve a
predetermined goal. I had to have a goal to get a grant for a new playground. I met this
standard by working collaboratively with others and managing all of the different pieces
of the grant proposal. I had to manage a budget, the process of how it would work,
decide what resources needed to be used to achieve the goal of getting the grant and
manage my time well working with my administrators. I also met this standard with my
strategic plan project.
E. 1.5: Ethics: Demonstrate contemporary professional ethics of the field as outlined by
the AECT Code of Ethics.
integration strategies and assignments. Creating this website I had to use the copyright
laws correctly, create my own work and in general show that I can demonstrate the ethics
outlined in the AECT Code of Ethics. I also met this standard with my ID model project,
web design project, strategic plan project and my grant proposal project.
Standard 2: Content Pedagogy- Candidates develop as reflective practitioners able to
demonstrate effective implementation of educational technologies and processes based on
contemporary content and pedagogy.
A. 2.1: Creating: Apply content pedagogy to create appropriate uses of processes and
technologies to improve learning and performance outcomes.
A. The strategic plan assignment was the final assignment for my strategic planning class.
The purpose of the assignment was to create a strategic plan for a company or school to
meet an end goal. I chose to create my strategic plan for the Nodaway Valley Community
School District. I created the plan throughout the semester of the class. I had to
collaborate with other teachers, administrators, staff members and parents to create the
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard with this project because my strategic
plan was to implement more literacy technology into our schools to increase our FAST
(Iowa benchmark test) scores. I had to implement effective technology into literacy time
in my own classroom and demonstrate the good things that were happening in my
classroom because of what I was implementing. I had to apply content pedagogy to
create appropriate uses of processes and technologies to improve learning and
performance outcomes. In the end my class did improve their scores quite a bit and
Nodaway Valley is still implementing the plan I created. I also met this standard with my
K-12 learning with computers website project.

B. 2.2: Using: Implement appropriate educational technologies and processes based on
appropriate content pedagogy.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by actually implementing the plan and
the different types of literacy technology into my classroom. I had to be knowledgeable
about the content pedagogy and implement the technologies that I had found and actually
use them in a way to impact literacy scores. I also had to observe other teachers to see
how they are implementing literacy technology in their own classrooms. After observing
other teachers I then would work with them to help them find literacy based technology
they could use in their classroom that worked best for their needs. I also met this standard
with my strategic plan project.
C. 2.3: Assessing/Evaluating: Assess the adequacy of learning and evaluate the instruction
and implementation of technologies and processes.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by assessing the different technology
instruction that I was doing for my strategic plan. There were some literacy technologies
that I used that were not effective. I had to evaluate the good the technologies were doing
compared to the bad. I had to ask myself what the kids were getting out of this
technology and if they could get a better knowledge from a different technology.
D. 2.4: Managing: Manage processes and resources to provide supportive learning
communities, create flexible and diverse learning environments, and demonstrate
appropriate content pedagogy.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by managing the strategic plan with a
committee of teachers and administrators. I went into the different classrooms and
observed what was happening and came up with better ways to implement technology to
improve our literacy FAST scores. I had other teachers come in and observe my literacy
time so they could see what worked for me. This allowed me to manage processes and
resources to provide supportive learning communities, create flexible and diverse
learning environments, and demonstrate appropriate content pedagogy.
E. 2.5: Ethics: Design and select media, technology, and processes that emphasize the
diversity of our society.
integration strategies and assignments. All of the assignments and/or integration
strategies were created in a way that would work for different types of learning for
diverse students. I met this standard by selecting different technologies and media that
could be integrated with diverse populations. I created presentations for teachers to watch
that would allow them to watch the presentations and implement technology in different
ways that they might now have thought of. I also met this standard with my strategic plan
project.
Standard 3: Learning Environments- Candidates facilitate learning by creating, using,
evaluating, and managing effective learning environment.
A. 3.1: Creating: Create instructional design products based on learning principles and
research-based best practices.
lot of great resources that I use in my own classroom everyday. I met this standard by
creating specific instructional presentations that show teachers how to integrate different
technologies into their classroom. Some of the presentations also show what the
technology is. I made sure to create my presentations so that they are based on learning
principles and research-based best practices. I also met this standard with my ID models
project.
B. 3.2: Using: Select appropriate processes and resources to provide optimal conditions for
learning based on principles, theories, and effective practices.
lot of great resources that I use in my own classroom everyday. I met this standard by
selecting appropriate resources and processes that provide optimal conditions for
learning based on principles, theories, and effective practices. One specific page of the
website is all about how to implement certain technologies into specific classroom
settings. This really shows mastery of this standard because I had to select specific
technology resources that would provide optimal learning conditions. I also met this
standard with my strategic plan project.

C. 3.3: Assessing/Evaluating: Use multiple assessment strategies to collect data for
informing decisions to improve instructional practice, learner outcomes, and the
learning environment.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by creating different assessments that
would assess and evaluate the technology being used in the strategic plan. I also did a lot
of observations in other classrooms. The observations included questioning students on
the technology they are using in the classroom and what they are learning from it. I
collected data throughout the semester (and year after the class ended) on the literacy
improvement of the students at Nodaway Valley.
D. 3.4: Managing: Establish mechanisms or plans for maintaining the technology
infrastructure to improve learning and performance.
lot of great resources that I use in my own classroom everyday. The presentation portion
of the website really shows how to manage technology in different learning environments
Each presentation is on a specific thing or skill that shows the reader how to introduce
that skill into the classroom. I also met this standard with my strategic plan project. I met
this standard with this project by creating a plan to improve literacy FAST testing scores
from fall to spring. I had to manage creating a plan and working with other teachers to
create a plan that would actually work. This plan was created to improve literacy scores
using literacy based technology during small group rotations.
E. 3.5: Ethics: Foster a learning environment in which ethics guide practice that promotes
health, safety, best practice, and respect for copyright, Fair Use, and appropriate open
access to resources.

and evaluate technology-rich learning environments within a supportive community of
practice.
A. 4.1: Collaborative Practice: Collaborate with peers and subject matter experts to
analyze learners, develop and design instruction and evaluate its impact on learners.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by collaborating with other teachers and
administrators at school to create this strategic plan for Nodaway Valley. I also worked
closely with our AEA district literacy consultant to find literacy technology that would
help students improve. I designed instruction using these technologies in my own
classroom and observed other teachers to help them find good literacy technology to use
in their classrooms for different grade levels. I also met this standard with my web design
project and grant proposal project.

B. 4.2: Leadership: Lead peers in designing and implementing technology-supported
learning.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by leading the committee of teachers,
parents and administrators in my school so we could create this strategic plan. I
implemented literacy technology into my classroom and helped others implement it into
their own classrooms as well. I also met this standard with my web design project and
grant proposal project.
C. 4.3: Reflection on Practice-Analyze and interpret data and artifacts and reflect on the
effectiveness of the design, development and implementation of technology-supported
instruction and learning to enhance their professional growth.

D. 4.4: Assessing/Evaluating: Design and implement assessment and evaluation plans that
align with learning goals and instructional activities.
plan and get it implemented. I met this standard by designing and implementing
assessment and evaluation plans for my strategic plan. I had to design assessments and
evaluations for literacy for my own classroom and then modify them for other grade
levels.
E. 4.5: Ethics: Demonstrate ethical behavior within the applicable cultural context during
all aspects of their work and with respect for the diversity o learners in each setting.
diverse students.
Standard 5: Research: Candidates explore, evaluate, synthesize, and apply methods of
inquiry to enhance learning and improve performance.
A. 5.1: Theoretical Foundations: Demonstrate foundational knowledge of the contribution
of research to the past and current theory of educational communications and
technology.
A. For my final for Introduction to Theories of Instructional Design I had to create my on
instructional design model. I had to create a research based instructional design that is
based on another instructional design model. I chose to base my model off of the
ASSURE Model. I chose to name model the ADMAE model. This stands for audience,
determine objectives, determine materials, assess, and evaluate and revise. I had to
explain how my model would work in a K-12 classroom setting. I met this standard by
researching and creating a model based on the ASSURE Model. Our instructional design
model that we had to create had to be theoretically based on another model. Because of
this I had to demonstrate my foundational knowledge of the contribution of research to
the past and current theory of educational communications and technology. I also met
this standard with my K-12 classroom website project, strategic plan project and grant
proposal project.
B. 5.2: Methods: Apply research methodologies to solve problems and enhance practice.
doing a lot of research into the ASSURE Model and on the different ways instructional
design models work. To create an instructional design model that worked efficiently I
had to research different instructional design models. I had to prove that I could write a
paper that included a lot of research. I also met this standard with my K-12 classroom
website, strategic plan and grant proposal project.
C. 5.3: Assessing/Evaluating: Apply formal inquiry strategies in assessing and evaluating
processes and resources for learning and performance.
researching a lot of different instructional design models. I had to really evaluate each
source that I used. I also met this standard with my K-12 classroom website project,
strategic plan project and my grant proposal project.
D. 5.4: Ethics: Conduct research practice using accepted professional and institutional
guidelines and procedures.
researching and using sources. The main way this standard was met was by citing my
sources correctly and using them correctly throughout my paper This standard was also
met in my strategic planning project, K-12 learning with computers project and in every
class that I have taken through the University of Arkansas.
