This culminating assignment requires students to synthesize the knowledge and skills learned from the Technology Infusion Unit and incorporate them into their instructional practices. Students will create a Padlet board to depict a unit plan that integrates technology in teaching in order to promote student learning. Students should use a unit that they are currently teaching (or have taught) and create a “resource board” using Padlet to illustrate how they plan to integrate technology into the unit. As this is a culminating assignment, students MUST INCLUDE connections between ISTE standards, teaching practice, and technology available in their school/district to demonstrate mastery of all unit content and receive full credit.  Students will present their Technology Use Plan in class in Week 7.

The essential components of this assignment include:

o Basic unit info (what is the unit being taught?) (note: the emphasis of this assignment is not on the unit components themselves, but rather how technology is being integrated to add value to the unit)

o Technology integration- what tools and/or resources are being used AND how do they add value to the unit?

o Alignment with content standards

o Alignment with ISTE-S standards (what ISTE-S standards are promoted?)

o Reference to ISTE-T standards (what ISTE-T standards are promoted?)

o Inclusion of SED 501 course content (knowledge learned from SED 501 course content and the Resource Catalog assignment is explicitly referenced and used to design learning tasks and develop student outcomes. )

o Be sure to include multi-media elements on your Padlet board to depict the unit (images, video, text, websites, etc.)

How will the students benefit from this:

1. They will be able to gain knowledge of technology.

2. The students will see how I have made a portfolio and be able to use mine as an exemplar

3. Students will build their own portfolio helping students to have information in one spot

4. The students will post anything they find that is pertinent to the subject matter

5. The students will post some assignments on their portfolio, Not all assignments will be able to be posted.

6. The teachers portfolio will help students will studing, learning, and prigressing through the subject matter.
