Candidates will apply theories of change to introduce innovations into educational settings.
Artifact 1: Digital Media Design Rubric: Evaluation of Sesame Street in Communities
Course: MEDT 7462: Internet Tools, Resources, & Issues
Description:
I developed an detailed rubric to analyze the Sesame Street in Communities website for this artifact. The assignment demanded evaluating the site through its design and authorship and its purpose and content and accessibility using particular criteria. I evaluated each category through systematic scoring while explaining my ratings and analyzed the media design elements that support effective digital learning environments. The evaluation process included research into digital media design best practices followed by website analysis against established standards and development of improvement recommendations. The work showcases my capability to implement theories of change through evaluating digital content and proposing enhancements for educational delivery.

Artifact 2: Final Reflection on Integrating Digital Media Tools into Instructional Practice
Course: MEDT 7462: Internet Tools, Resources, & Issues
Description:
The artifact presents my MEDT 7462 final reflective project which shows my development with digital media tools and their application in educational practice. The reflection described my first exposure to digital tools and my obstacles with health management and work responsibilities and my development from instructional design formal training. I explained that working on projects such as digital media evaluation and in-service workshop proposal development helped me implement change theories while creating classroom innovations. Through this assignment I documented my educational progression while showing specific examples of tool implementation for instructional practice transformation.
Reflection
The artifacts demonstrate my skills in using change theories to develop and assess educational innovations. The Digital Media Design Rubric artifact demonstrates my critical assessment skills for digital content because I determined weaknesses and proposed methods to improve user engagement and accessibility. The Final Reflection from MEDT 7462 illustrates my professional development through implementing digital tools in teaching while managing different responsibilities and adopting innovative educational approaches. The educational experiences have transformed my instructional design practice because they taught me to evaluate resources methodically and deliver practical solutions to educational problems in real classrooms. I will use these acquired skills to enhance my teaching methods while assisting my colleagues in adopting technological tools which promote student achievement.
