audio/video use and integration of these components into presentations. This is a topic I have
never worked with before, but I have seen it done in my placement classroom. Therefore, I
reviewed some of the instructional videos my placement teacher had made, paying attention to
how she positioned the camera to avoid shadows on her work. I then set out to create my own
instructional video. Thinking I would kill two birds with one stone, I did my video on various
ways to factor a quadratic equation (I only learned one way, and as a teacher I will need to know
more than that). It took me a few tries to get the lighting and the volume and pacing right. I then
tested this video by showing it to one of my friends little siblings who is at the appropriate age
and had only a base knowledge of factoring. It ended up being successful! I was amazed at how
much time it took to get the whole video done. I will be practicing more to hopefully cut down
on that time and make the process more efficient.
This was only the beginning of filling in my technology education. The rest of what I
learn from the 21thingsforteachers website will be posted in my online portfolio. Shown below is
a shot of both the 21 things site and my portfolio.

Briefly describe what you did and what you like about it
I opened another tab, dragged it out to become a new window, and re-sized both windows so
that I could view them at the same time. This is useful so that I do not constantly have to be
switching from one tab to another; I can have both visible at the same time.

I searched the web page for the words how to and zoomed in on the first occurrence of the
phrase. I like this ctrl+f function because it will be useful if I am attempting to find specific
information on a long web page or document.

Your score/reflection:
3. I know where I am at, and I know where I need to get to. I have the base knowledge but the
advanced knowledge is not there yet. Hopefully this class will fix that.
2. Best Practice Connections
Select from one of the lesson/teaching examples you provided in the ISTE-T section, or another
from your teaching. Identify and give an example of three of the nine research-based best
practice teaching and learning strategies (identified in the Framework for Instructional Planning)
and a technology resource you use (or might use) in the chart below. You may find it helpful to
refer to the techbestpractice site.

Based on the resources in Basics, and your own experience, reflect on how thoughtful
integration of best practice and technology can improve your instructional practice. Give some
details.
Instructional practice can be greatly improved by proper use of technology. For one, it can be
used to keep students engaged where they may otherwise be inclined to wander. Technology
also opens doors that were otherwise solidly closed in education. Allowing students to perform
virtual experiments or to research current events while in the classroom provides new avenues
for instruction and learning that can greatly enhance the students knowledge and
understanding.
