​Collaborate with educators to develop authentic, active learning experiences that foster student agency, deepen content mastery and allow students to demonstrate their competency. I chose this article because it demonstrates my ability to design, model, and coach technology-enhanced learning resources for teachers that engage students in real-world problems. The SAS Curriculum Pathway provides teachers with a plethora of digital tools that enhance student engagement by focusing their tools on real-world problems and information. This video shows teachers how to navigate the many resources available on the site. I demonstrate how students can learn about FDR’s New Deal by listening to his actual speech,   as well as an interactive science unit about the solar system.  This instructional technology resource has many eLearning programs based on real-world situations for ELA, math, science, social studies, and Spanish.

Help educators use digital tools to create effective assessments that provide timely feedback and support personalized learning. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to design and implement instructional technology in order to enhance learning. I designed, created, and integrated an interactive e-learning program for a third grade color theory unit. My design document explains how implementation can be adjusted based on students interest, learning styles, and readiness levels. The goal of my eLearning program is to enhance students' understanding of the color wheel and color theory through interaction, videos, games, and reflection. My eLearning program allows students to move through the lessons at their own pace giving them time to absorb the content and vocabulary. This allows students to make their own personal learning goal for the class, ensuring all students have the chance to successfully learn color theory completely.

Collaborate with educators to design accessible and active digital learning environments that accommodate learner variability. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to enhance student learning through the implementation of adaptive and assistive technology. My presentation describes how a Smartboard can be used to help diverse learners better understand the lesson(s). Using a Smartboard means digitizing lessons which makes it easy and engaging for students to revisit information, view images/video, and interact with the lessons. This presentation describes a variety of ways to use this technology to assist students with diverse learning and physical needs such as hearing impairment, limited mobility, and ADHD.

Model the use of instructional design principles with educators to create effective digital learning environments. I chose this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to coach teachers using a variety of research-based, learner-centered instructional strategies and assessments that address the needs of all students. My PBS Learning Media professional development outlines how to integrate PBS learning media into the curriculum. PBS Learning Media is a research-based, instructional technology website where educators can find resources for math, science, and technology. This PD plan was designed to help teachers use the PBS Learning Media site for lesson planning, individualized instruction, and as an assessment tool. Teachers will brainstorm, create, and share an example(s) of a successful lesson plan that uses PBS Learning to enhance learning in their own curriculum. By sharing best practices and learning strategies, educators expand their inventor of technology- enhanced learning.
