CO-OBST+7


 * CO-OBST 7 criteria met:**


 * 7.1**
 * Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction.**

In class, we studied various ways to deliver lessons in creative and compelling ways through several different technologies including Smartboards, Wikispaces, and the Webquest format. I met this standard by developing a Webquest Site according to the Colorado Science standards for grade 6 where students could explore the solar system and gather data about the planets. This project was done on Google Sites, and I therefore have the ability to deliver standards-based instruction.


 * 7.2**
 * Use technology to increase student achievement.**

Not only did we explore creating lessons that present information in compelling and interactive ways using Smartboards and Webquest, but social networking sites can be used in the classroom to foster more effective communication between students and the teacher- allowing for more oversight and interaction on the part of the teacher.


 * 7.3**
 * Utilize technology to manage and communicate information.**

In class I studied how to use social networking to create a virtual classroom alongside the real one, allowing myself as a teacher to more effectively communicate with my community of students. This fulfills standard 7.3, as it allows me to more effectively communicate with students


 * 7.4**
 * Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning.**

In creating my Webquest project I developed an online grading rubrik to asses my students' performance on the project. This shows that as stated in standard 7.4 I am able to use technology to create data-driven assessments.


 * 7.5**
 * Instruct students in basic technology skills.**

In creating my Smartboard presentation and my Webquest lesson I was able to explore the technologies involved in student learning, and an more than able as a result to instruct students in basic technology skills. Attachments None
