MTT Review
Competency 005Competency 005
by Jenna Springfield
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
