Educators facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of the ISTE Standards for Students.
Artifact 1: Digital Literacy Workshop – Enhancing Digital Literacy for Kindergarten Educators
Course: MEDT 7462: Internet Tools, Resources, & Issues
Description:
The artifact consists of a professional workshop which I delivered to kindergarten educators. The workshop focused on integrating digital literacy skills using tools such as ScratchJr. The workshop included a needs assessment and the creation of instructional materials and hands-on activities. The session provided teachers with the ability to effectively integrate digital literacy into their classroom practice.

Artifact 2: Discussion 1 – Interactive Science Lesson Using PhET Simulation
Course: MEDT 7476: Visual and Media Literacy for Teaching and Learning
Description:
The artifact consists of a technology-enhanced lesson plan for 2nd-grade science that utilizes PhET's "States of Matter" interactive simulation. The lesson had students explore material transformations, record observations, and make a digital slideshow. This artifact shows my ability to manage and support dynamic, technology-rich instructional settings. In addition, the interactive nature of the lesson not only enhanced students' understanding of scientific concepts but also provides a valuable insight into how to optimize technology integration in the classroom.
