Technology Integration

We have read multiple chapters on teaching with technology. Explain what you have learned from reading "Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age." More specifically, share your thoughts on the framework for Universal Design for Learning and the three brain networks involved in learning. Have you read about, heard about, believe in a more relevant theory of learning? How do you see technology as facilitating learning in ways that teaching without technology fails to facilitate?

Meeting the Standards

After creating Performance Based Task and Assessments to be taught at the secondary level and participating in a peer review of those PBTAs, you should be able to see a direct correlation among the state standards, NBPTS standards and the assessment tools you created. Your essential questions should also tie directly to your standards. Are these links necessary? Do they happen naturally for you? How can you make them more evident? More useful? What is your opinion of standards-based instruction?
