ISTE 1 Technology coaches must share the same
Visionary vision while at the same time they must be
Leadership role models and inspire. The ultimate goal is
to foster excellence and reinforce innovation
throughout the instructional environment.
Coaches should contribute to the
augmentation, communication, and
implementation of a mutual vision to
support a digital age learning for all
students. They could also be an advocate
for policies, procedures, programs, and
funding strategies.

Description
Artifact, UIC Tech Plan Proposal, a detailed plan for the development
TIE 532 and implementation of a new local area network, segment, or a new
Applications of network feature appropriate for use in teaching and learning. In
Tech in School this project, we explore ways of working with technical support
personnel to maximize the use of technology resources to improve
student learning. Research, evaluation, and developing a needs
assessment along with a proposal were used to determine what
specifications were needed to fulfill district/school requirements.
Knowledge gained derived from designing project and its purpose as
for how it relates to the school’s technology needs. Other areas
include identifying hardware and software components necessary
for the project along with a detailed budget of all anticipated
expenses. As an instructional technology coach, I must provide a
summary of how the project will be organized and administered and
an explanation of how networked hardware and software will be
secured. In addition, the importance of proper procedures for
appropriately managing copyrights, “fair use” became useful
knowledge; tech coaches need to be aware of this. In addition, a
field experience log was submitted demonstrating in which a
functional network device or service was to be implemented in a
working school network.

Multimedia before the program. Instructional tech coaches also need to remain
Authoring competitive in the field of planning instructional activities using
images and videos in curricula to meet diverse student needs. Other
gain knowledge included in knowing how to apply instructional
design principles and multimedia authoring software to develop a
substantive, interactive, computer-based hypermedia project
relevant to the curriculum and student needs. A review of copyright
laws related to use of digital resources was a refresher.
As educators, we must find innovative ways of teaching and support
that 21st-century learning experience, enhanced through
technology resources by utilizing various methods of online
research, inquiry -based science experiments, most important
emphasize on creativity leading to higher-order thinking skills. My
artifact was geared towards middle school students in the area of
Animal Science, Dolphin Biology. I converted my project by utilizing
Storyboard That which is a graphic organizer in the form of
illustrations and or images displayed in sequence for pre-visualizing
a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media
sequence.

Coaches model practical classroom
management and collaborative learning
strategies to expand teacher and student
use of digital tools and resources. In
addition, coach models should advocate and
exemplify proper digital etiquette in the
classroom setting and make sure students
understand the distinction between the
safe, legal, and ethical use of digital

Artifact, The Use of Mobile Devices to Boost Parent-Teacher
LSE 500 Communication was developed to explore the value of forging long-
Introduction to term partnerships with parents as a valuable leverage point. In
Learning Science’s addition, to have a better understanding how the learner applies
strategies in different learning contexts, and how these
characteristics such as motivation and persistence change. My
selection of a technology-infused learning environment was to
demonstrate that technology could be practical that may sustain,
engage, empower, and expand mobile learning. Because we are in a
digital learning era, as tech coaches we need to provide support in
real-world learning and collaboration at a significant level, including
proper digital etiquette and ethical use.
There is a combination of informal and formal technology
integration that helps model a digital learning environment. Adult
learners participated in a technology class by a trained tech coach.
Informal education occurred outside the classroom as these learners
were encouraged to download educational apps but were also
assigned to complete specific assignments. The intent was to inspire
creativity that can be used to enhance learning.

Making collecting, analyzing, and presenting student achievement data to
help with school improvement and databased-decision-making.
In this standard, an emphasis is placed on coaches conducting a
needs assessment to evaluate the impact; to support this standard; I
developed a presentation including a survey prepared by the Illinois
State Board of Education (ISBE)-UChicago Impact. The survey

Instructional and create a multimedia report, including a mini-unit. The
Strategies in emphasis was on synthesizing what was learned during professional
Educational development, referencing program content, current trends, and
Technology issues. Knowledge gained derived from CODE.org, which inspired
me on creating a mini-series of coding lessons for pre-k spring camp.
With the rise of computer science and not enough computer science
courses, CODE.org provides opportunities by offering their programs
free of charge to schools. Most important, they foster these free
technologies related PDs to recruit teachers and volunteers with the
ultimate goal of motivating the student to pursue a career in such
field.

The curriculum offers a variety of lesson plans for K-12 teachers,
while technology supports some lessons, there are some unplugged
lessons as well, both support student learning.
Another component to this artifact - Digital Citizenship, topic of
discussion, which highly motivated me to create a presentation
under this area. While the artifact was geared toward educators,
the overall goal of CODE is for teachers to volunteer and help host
workshops for youth to inspire computer science. This artifact also
derives from this learning experience. After attending this
professional development, I was able to demonstrate my ability to
advocate for the safety and ethical use of the Internet, which is an
essential component of this standard.

understanding of the computer basics and the use of the internet.
In evaluation the impact of the program, an evaluation is also
included. Tracking the progress is important for future adjustments.

Many parents questioned or showed concerns about privacy settings
as well as proper etiquette. Part of this project was to educate them
in the area of digital citizenship, and model and facilitate safe,
healthy, legal and ethical uses of digital information and techniques.
This artifact may also apply to Standard 5, Digital Citizenship.
