2.1 Content Standards & Student Technology Standards
Candidates model and facilitate the design and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences aligned with student content standards and student technology standards. (PSC 2.1/ISTE 2a)
Artifact: Internet Lesson Plan
Reflection:
In ITEC 7430, I designed and implemented a lesson plan focusing on several fourth-grade math standards and incorporating social studies and technology standards. The lesson plan is one I designed in hopes of creating a real-world, authentic learning experience that offered students to work at their own pace on a project that gave them voice and choice in cross-curricular activities. The students created a budget for a family vacation using technology skills to research places in the United States and around the globe that they would like to visit. They then used geography skills to locate the places they would like to visit and choose artifacts to create describing the area of interest. To incorporate math skills, students created a budget for a family vacation to their chosen destination. The budget included travel, meals, lodging and excursions. My Contribution for this artifact was the sole designer and creator of the lesson plan as well as the implementer of the project in my classroom.
Standard 2.1 focuses on modeling and facilitating design and implementation of technology enriched learning experiences aligned with student content and technology standards. I designed a lesson plan that incorporated several fourth-grade math, social studies, geography, and technology standards and implemented the lesson plan with all fourth-grade classes. This technology-enhanced learning experience was a three-week project that I implemented into my math class. The lesson plan clearly shows how I worked to design a real-world project that incorporated cross-curricular student content and technology standards. Due to the success and student engagement in the project I shared the implementation of the project with classroom teachers. This project allowed me to step back and facilitate as students were able to assist one another with completing tasks such as, copy and paste, highlight and underline, and open multiple tabs. Below are the ISTE and PSC standards were covered in this artifact;
ISTE Standards
Content Standards
The design and implementation of this lesson allowed me to take a long-term project and incorporate technology to enhance and engage student learning. I was familiar with technology standards but did not know grade specific standards or think about the importance of implementing in a math class. I learned to seamlessly blend and integrate technology and content standards into math lessons. My goal has been to create more real-world, authentic learning experiences in my math classes and now I incorporate technology standards within those lessons. This has allowed me to provide voice and choice to students which has strengthened student engagement and overall learning.
The impact of this artifact can be seen through the knowledge students have gained in math, technology, social studies and geography standards. Students in fourth grade are more proficient with technology standards. This artifact has afforded me the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with colleagues and demonstrate how to incorporate technology with content standards and individualize student learning.

ISTE Standards
- 1c-Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.
- 2a
- Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world.
- 2b-Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices.
- 2c-Students demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the rights and obligations of using and sharing intellectual property.
- 2d-Students manage their personal data to maintain digital privacy and security and are aware of data-collection technology used to track their navigation online.
- 3a-Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
- 3b-Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.
- 3c-Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
- 3d-Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
- 5a-Students formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
Content Standards
- MGSE4.MD.2. Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
