PLAN In order to ASSURE that educational tools truly support the student’s intellectual, social, and personal development, I will use the Student Resource Critique and Teacher Resource Critique to evaluate online student learning objects during the planning stages. • INTASC Principle # 2
EVALUATE Through WebQuests, podcasts and PBWiki lessons I can create opportunities for authentic assessments in the classroom. • INTASC Principle # 8:
MAXIMIZE LEARNING To ensure the highest level of success, I will use a variety of web 2.0 tools along with other resources in order to meet the needs of the group and the individual while adhering to MNPS Standards, Tennessee State Standards and the ISTE’s Education Technology Standards for Students. • INTASC Principles 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7 & 8
