From this website you can review the standards for students and search for a lesson to review for CTAP 120’s Activity 3a.

Always backup your work...

Just a friendly reminder that you should always backup your work. Specific to Level II work, I highly recommend that you backup anything that you submit to CTAP 9 Online, the blog and FURL.

You can backup work digitally and/or hard copy... Whatever you are most comfortable with.

For example, you might write and save your comments for the blog in a Word document and then paste the comments from the Word document to the blog. Then you have your work on your computer as well as on the blog.

Another example would be that when you FURL something, you click on the "Save & Email" button and email yourself a copy.

Scheduling in Outlook Web Access (OWA)

When you are ready to schedule your observation, please schedule through OWA (http://mail.nmusd.us/). This will allow you to see my availability.

Here are directions on how to do that:
-In Calendar, on the toolbar, click New to create a new appointment
-Please make the Subject of the appointment "Level II Observation- Your Name"
-In the Location field, put your school and where I will meet you
-In the Start Time and End Time lists, select the appropriate dates and times.
-Invite me by putting "lmcgann" in the Required field
-Then click on Availability to see if I am available
-If I am "busy", try another time and check the availability for that
-In the message body, type any message you want to accompany your meeting request, and then click Send.

Thanks for using the efficiency feature!

PS- Just a friendly reminder that the lesson must be you and your students using technology. That is you providing instruction and the students practicing what you have taught them. The use of technology must include the Internet.

CTAP 120- Activity 1a

What are the primary factors you consider when deciding upon using a given technology as an instructional tool?

Do you find that your inclusion or exclusion of a given technology is more of a result of your knowledge of what is available, or more a result of your experience with a given application?

Do you find that the availability of a given technology hinders its use at your site or that many educators at your site do not see realistic ways to integrate technology in their students' learning and exploration?

CTAP 120- Activity 2b

At this point, you should have reviewed student technology use guidelines forwarded by both a national foundation project and a state content effort. However, you are the sole expert when it comes to true understanding of your students' capabilities. Reflecting upon the guidelines you have reviewed in the last two activities, what do you believe your students should be able to do with technology at the grade and ability levels you see in your classroom everyday?

CTAP 201- Activity 1a

Post a brief assessment of the standards you read in Lesson 1. How can the Internet help you accomplish these standards?
