Implementation



The following portfolio artifacts all contain research and instructional tools that I have been able to use in my own classroom while in the Master's of Instructional Technology Program.

As a first grade teacher, early childhood learning is something that is extremely important to me. While learning in the MSIT program, I was able to research ways that instructional technology can be implemented in the primary classroom. The following research paper is one I did concerning early childhood websites and computer programs and their effectiveness in reinforcing certain skills. This research paper meets the AECT Utilization Standard.

** Standard 3: UTILIZATION ** Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to use processes and resources for learning by applying principles and theories of media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and policy-making.



After completing the above research paper, I was then able to create a presentation to share with my classmates. I also presented the ideas in this instructional document to my coworkers, so they too would be able to implement the technology resources into their classrooms. This presentation meets two AECT standards.

** Standard 2: DEVELOPMENT ** Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to develop instructional materials and experiences using print, audiovisual, computer-based, and integrated technologies.

** Standard 3: UTILIZATION ** Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to use processes and resources for learning by applying principles and theories of media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and policy-making.



In ITED 550, Capstone in Instructional Technology, I was able to use technology tools that I use daily with my students, to create learning modules for other teachers. In these learning modules, teachers learn how to use various websites and iPod and iPad applications to teach primary aged students fundamental reading skills. The learning modules were originally designed to be presented in a face-to-face setting. However, they have been modified and are also available on the internet. This training program will meet all AECT standards when completed.

** Standard 1: DESIGN ** Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to design conditions for learning by applying principles of instructional systems design, message design, instructional strategies, and learner characteristics.

** Standard 2: DEVELOPMENT ** Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to develop instructional materials and experiences using print, audiovisual, computer-based, and integrated technologies.

** Standard 3: UTILIZATION ** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to use processes and resources for learning by applying principles and theories of media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and policy-making.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">** Standard 4: MANAGEMENT ** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to plan, organize, coordinate, and supervise instructional technology by applying principles of project, resource, delivery system, and information management.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">**Standard 5: EVALUATION** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to evaluate the adequacy of instruction and learning by applying principles of problem analysis, criterion-referenced measurement, formative and summative evaluation, and long-range planning.
