1.1 Creating
Standard 1.1 is all about creating educational materials using a systems approach (Pina, 2012).
There are two projects that I created during the pursuit of my masters degree that exemplify this
standard. The first one is the artifact Strategic Action Plan Project.
In the Strategic Action Plan Project I helped guide the Barton High School Robotics team and
created a plan for them to use going forward. I conducted both in person and email interviews with
the adults involved, as well conducted a group discussion with students to ascertain the needs of the
team. Then using a combination of the DACUM and MoSCow methods those needs were prioritized
over the next few meetings. This can be seen in the artifacts of the meeting agendas, as well as in
the overall action plan paper. Students then brainstormed and shared out consequences and
solutions. They voted on solutions, with the final authority being given to the team coaches.
The second project was the LMS Project - Curriculum Map. This project relied on the ADDIE
method of design. This project was to design a unit for an online course that could be used for a
hybrid course or done fully online. I chose to create a unit for 8th grade science involving the
standards on organism reproductions. The concept map shows the results of the analysis, design
and development stages of ADDIE. The module overview also discusses the use of ADDIE during this
project. Once I had designed the layout and developed the activities and assessments I opened up
my unit for review.
1.2 Using
Standard 1.2 is about using technology to support students and enhance teaching (Pina, 2012).
There are two projects that fulfilled this requirement.
The first was the LMS Project - Canvas project. In this project I created a unit that was for a fully
online/distance learning class. I created videos for introductions, and for lectures. These videos

are kept short to keep students attention and also show me as I’m speaking to engage students
more. The course overview gives descriptions of the online interactive labs and scenarios I found
to help engage students and keep them focused. Having a way to engage students in a science
class, while being fully remote is essential to make sure students create meaningful connections
in their learning.
The second project was the Assistive Technology Website. This project was about researching,
analyzing, and then communicating ways that students with disabilities could be given the
modifications and supports they need. The website gives many different ways to help those
students with hearing, vision, and dexterity problems. Implementing some of these systems will
greatly enhance the engagement and learning of students who oftentimes feel left out because
of their disabilities.
1.3 Assessing/Evaluating
Standard 1.3 is about using appropriate technology to assess learning (Pina, 2012). This was fulfilled
with the LMS Project done in Canvas.
The LMS Project - Canvas required both formative and summative assessments. There was a pre-test
over topics to be covered. This will give the teacher an understanding of where students'
knowledge currently is and can be compared to their exit exam to see if their knowledge grew.
There were also quizzes as checkpoints to make sure that students are learning. Both the
pretest and the quizzes were created on the Canvas platform, not as separate documents to
complete. The summative assessment for the 3 module unit was for students to create a 3-5
minute video, with visual aids, on what they have learned. These videos will be created using
Flip. Students can then view other students' videos and comment.

1.4 Managing
Standard 1.4 is about collaborating and managing others (Pina, 2012). There are two projects
that demonstrate this standard.
The first project is the Strategic Action Plan Project. In this project I worked with the Barton
High School Robotics Team coaches to help guide the team. I managed the students and coaches
and guided them to create a mission statement and a team vision. I lead meetings, during which I
lead the team to identify needs and consequences if the needs are not met. At every step
students and coaches had input and made the ultimate decisions after I guided them to ask
pointed questions.
The second project was the Website Design Project. For this project I collaborated with a
teacher to create a website for his classes. This website was to house all of his presentations,
videos, and work for students and their parents to easily find. This required collaboration
between us. As I built the website I would ask him what he wanted and what he thought of the
design. At the end of the project a usability test was performed which required managing
students and adults as they completed tasks on the website.
1.5 Ethics
Standard 1.5 is about being professional and following copyright and fair use (Pina, 2012). This
portfolio demonstrates this competency. In this portfolio and its contents I have made sure to either
cite or link to the original author, or they are things that I have created after doing research, or are
from the knowledge I have gained as a student and a teacher.
