Highlighted Assignments:
Recommendation Lists PPT. (Pivot Table)
This course will explored the use of productivity tools and instructional software for curricular and administrative applications. Students used advanced features of productivity tools to evaluate artifacts and data for instructional decision-making, and they used the knowledge base on integrating technology to guide application of specific strategies in support of problem-based curricula. In addition, students assisted one or more teacher(s)/colleague(s) in using recommended tools and strategies.
Rationale:
ISTE-TF.4 STANDARD: Assessment and Evaluation -- Educational
technology facilitators apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective
assessment and evaluation strategies.
This project provided our department with an efficient means to recommend
and recruit students for the many different art and broadcasting classes
that are available.
ISTE-TF.5 STANDARD: Productivity and Professional Practice
-- Educational technology facilitators apply technology to enhance and
improve personal productivity and professional practice.
Through the creation of these Pivot tables the department has saved money
in both materials and man-hours involved in the recommendation and recruitment
process.
Reflection:
Although I would never really have the opportunity to use Pivot tables in my classroom I learned how they are beneficial for those who could use them. Data driven assignments where students need to compare lists and situations work well for the creation of Pivot Tables. I found Excel to be a fascinating, yet frustrating program. In many ways I feel that I have only scratched the surface on what can be done with this program.
