| How will you integrate
technology
into your curriculum? Provide examples. |
Technology is integrated
meaningfully
in many of the curricular areas and class
activities. Many
different examples may demonstrate integration
(e.g., projects,
problem posing and solving, cooperative activities,
presentations
for real audiences). |
Technology is integrated
to some
extent in a meaningful way. Use is limited to one or
two curricular
areas. |
Technology appears to be
absent
or is appended to the examples in ways that are not
relevant
or do not make good use of the technology. |
|
| How would you organize
your classroom
and students to make use of the computer
stations? |

procedures
including student rotation, student experts, small

and how
technology would be used and the physical layout of
the computers
in the room. Describes use of computer lab (if
available)
as well as classroom computers. |
Provides a good general
description
but lacks some specific examples that help us
understand classroom
organization. Addresses some but not all of the
areas discussed
in the exemplary classroom. |
Very general indication
of how
students would be organized. Lacks specificity and
details.
No plan for students helping each other or guiding
technology
use. No indication about how many students would be
using
the stations at one time and what the remainder of
the students
would be doing. No plan for teaching large groups
followed
by small-group practice. |

| Overall impression based
on the
clarity and substance of the remarks in the
application. |
The application is
clearly written
and provides an overall impression that meaningful
learning

|
The application is
somewhat clearly
written. Some tool uses of technology are described.
The overall
impression is positive. |

active. |
