Standard Seven: Knowledge of Technology: The teacher is skilled in technology and is knowledgeable about using technology to support instruction and enhance student learning. The teacher has demonstrated the ability to:

7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills.
 * The Web Quest I have designed has instruction online for the students to follow and participate in. The have to follow the instructions on the web site I made and following the instructions is the only way to complete the task correctly. The students have to click links, read instructions, and research online to find answers and ideas to complete the task. **
 * Web Quest teaches the students how to use technology to research to broaden information and to help them find answers and research to complete an assignment. Research increases diversity and opinions in an assignment and researching can be hard to do. Web Quest will help students know how to research and find helpful information that actually can be helpful. **
 * Web Quest and technology integration allows students to narrow down information and understand it. Managing research and use of technology in the class room is difficult to do. Knowing how to ** **interpret information we find while using technology needs to be directed. Students need to know what information to use, and what information not to use when using technology to learn.**
 * Many assignments I have done help with the assessment of learning. Podcasting, web quest, web 2.0 and all the others help with assessment learning. There are so many ways to learn with technology rather it is podcasting what students researched, following directions online and even how to research is all examples of how to have assessment learning, and how to achieve the learning in class. Coming together in class after an assignments to discuss how the project was and what everyone learned is important to make sure everyone is on the same page. **
 * Again, all these assignments on here can help with technology skills. Instructing students can help with web quest and the smart board presentation. Both assignments show instructions and tell students what is the best way to understand technology. All the assignment give hints, instructions on how to explore and learn from technology. **
