Program Standard 9: Using Technology in the Classroom
Through planned prerequisite and/or professional preparation, each candidate learns and begins to use appropriately computer-based technology to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Each candidate demonstrates knowledge of current basic computer hardware and software terminology and demonstrates competency in the operation and care of computer related hardware. Each candidate demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the legal and ethical issues concerned with the use of technology. Each candidate demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the appropriate use of computer-based technology for information collection, analysis and management in the instructional setting. Each candidate is able to select and evaluate wide array of technologies for effective use in relation to the state-adopted academic curriculum.
Program Elements for Standard 9: Using Computer-Based Technology in the Classroom
An accreditation team determines whether the preliminary teacher preparation program meets this standard based on evidence provided by the program sponsor. The team must determine that the quality of the program has been clearly and effectively substantiated in relation to each of the following elements.
9(a) Each candidate considers the content to be taught and selects appropriate technological resources to support, manage, and enhance student learning in relation to prior experiences and level of academic accomplishment.
9(b) Each candidate analyzes best practices and research findings on the use of technology and designs lessons accordingly.
9(c) Each candidate is familiar with basic principles of operation of computer hardware and software, and implements basic troubleshooting techniques for computer systems and related peripheral devices before accessing the appropriate avenue of technical support.
9(d) Each candidate uses computer applications to manage records and to communicate through printed media.
9(e) Each candidate interacts with others using e-mail and is familiar with a variety of computer-based collaborative.
9(f) Each candidate examines a variety of current educational technologies and uses established selection criteria to evaluate materials, for example, multimedia, Internet resources, telecommunications, computer-assisted instruction, and productivity and presentation tools. (See California State guidelines and evaluations.)
9(g) Each candidate chooses software for its relevance, effectiveness, alignment with content standards, and value added to student learning.
9(h) Each candidate demonstrates competence in the use of electronic research tools and the ability to assess the authenticity, reliability, and bias of the data gathered.
9(i) Each candidate demonstrates knowledge of copyright issues and of privacy, security, safety issues and Acceptable Use Policies.
Program Standard 16: Using Technology to Support Student Learning
Each participating teacher builds upon the knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired during preliminary preparation for the delivery of comprehensive, specialized use of appropriate computer-based technology to facilitate the teaching and learning processes. Each participating teacher is a fluent, critical user of technology, able to provide a relevant education and to prepare his/her students to be life-long learners in an information-based, interactive society. Each participating teacher makes appropriate and efficient use of software applications and related media to access and evaluate information, analyze and solve problems, and communicate ideas in order to maximize the instructional process. Such use of technology supports teaching and learning regardless of individual learning style, socioeconomic background, culture, ethnicity, or geographic location. Each participating teacher integrates these technology-related tools into the educational experience of students, including those with special needs.
Program Elements for Standard 16: Using Technology to Support Student Learning
16(a) Each participating teacher communicates through a variety of electronic media.
16(b) Each participating teacher interacts and communicates with other professionals through a variety of methods, including the use of computer-based collaborative tools to support technology enhanced curriculum.
16(c) Each participating teacher uses technological resources available inside the classroom or in library media centers, computer labs, local and county facilities, and other locations to create technology enhanced lessons aligned with the adopted curriculum.
16(d) Each participating teacher designs, adapts, and uses lessons which address the students' needs to develop information literacy and problem solving skills as tools for lifelong learning.
16(e) Each participating teacher uses technology in lessons to increase students’ ability to plan, locate, evaluate, select, and use information to solve problems and draw conclusions. He/she creates or makes use of learning environments that promote effective use of technology aligned with the curriculum inside the classroom, in library media centers or in computer labs.
16(f) Each participating teacher uses computer applications to manipulate and analyze data as a tool for assessing student learning and for providing feedback to students and their parents.
16(g) Each participating teacher demonstrates competence in evaluating the authenticity, reliability and bias of the data gathered, determines outcomes, and evaluates the success or effectiveness of the process used. He/she frequently monitors and reflects upon the results of using technology in instruction and adapts lessons accordingly.
