Competency 005 Overview

The MTT demonstrates how to: Use task-appropriate tools to synthesize knowledge Create and modify solutions Evaluate results to support the work of individuals and

groups in problem-solving situations

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to use and integrate appropriate technology-based productivity tools into teaching and learning

“Productivity tools allow students to do something that was not possible without technology and then share their results with others.”

Productivity Tool Examples

Word processor – Microsoft Word Used to prepare documents

Database – www.eric.ed.gov Used to find specific information

Spreadsheet – Excel Used to process mainly numerical data

Telecommunications – Internet Used to exchange info over distances by electronic

means

Integrating Productivity Tools

Focus attention on the unit - not on the supporting computer aspects

Consider Resources Prior student knowledge Group size Time

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to facilitate the use of appropriate digital editing tools and design principles for classroom use

Digital Editing Tools

Audio - Wavepad Video - Microsoft

Movie Maker Photo - PhotoFiltre

Compression Types

Graphic File Types

Vector Comprised of

mathematical paths Image quality is not

affected by size Smooth, clean edges Use less space Ideal for logos (business

card to billboard) Examples: Adobe

Illustrator, Flash

Raster Comprised of pixels Image quality affected by

size Rough, blocky edges File size relative to

graphic size Photos Examples: bmp, tif, gif,

jpg

Raster vs Vector Graphics

Raster Formats

Format Compression Uses

BMP none printable images

TIF lossless mainly offline; scanned photos

JPG lossy online and digital photos

GIF lossless simple graphics with few colors & animated images (clipart, icons)

PNG lossless GIF uses plus photo editing

Design Principles

Repetition Consistency Alignment Text to white space

ratio Image size Color use

Repetition & Consistency

Alignment

Text to White Space

Image Size

Color Use

Red – emotional and active, danger, love

Blue – passive, soft, cool

Yellow – warm, vibrant

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to use research skills and electronic resources and communication to synthesize information

Synthesizing Information

Gathering, processing and interacting with information

NOT copying and pasting

Research Skills

Electronic Resources

Collections of information accessed on an electronic device, usually a computer

Examples Online databases Websites CD and DVD ROMs

The Master Technology Teacher

Applies methods for extending the learning environment beyond the classroom through the creation and sharing of electronically formatted and published documents via electronic networks

Publication Options

Blog E-portfolio Group discussions Reflective journaling Knowledge

management tool Archiving

Wiki Brainstorming Collaboration Documents Knowledge base How-To’s Discussion of theories Planning

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to accomplish tasks through technological collaboration to include participation with electronic communities as student, initiator, contributor, and teacher/mentor

Collaboration Options

Asynchronous Discussion Forums E-mail

Synchronous Online Chat Online Conferencing

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to create specifications and instructions for technology-based tasks

Task Instructions

1. Introduction- “Big picture”, goals, expectations

2. Modeling- Examples, steps, processes

3. Discussion- Brainstorming, questions

4. Products- Presentation, documentation, etc

5. Public sharing- Summary of goals

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to use technology applications to facilitate the evaluation of work, including both process and product

Ongoing Evaluation

Plan and implement procedures to evaluate progress and monitor for improvement

Plan and implement strategies for evaluating electronic information using multiple sources and comparison of data

The Master Technology Teacher

Knows how to create rubrics to evaluate technology-based processes and products against established criteria

Why Rubrics?

Keeps the focus on learning goals Teachers can assess students’ work efficiently,

consistently, objectively and quickly Students know what is expected of them and the

degree to which specific learning outcomes have been achieved
