EDU+590+Spring+1+2018

Each week you will evaluate a website, app, software, or other resource that would support the following technology standards for learners:

Digital Citizen S18 @Knowledge Constructor S18 @Global Collaborator S18 @Innovative Designer S18 @Empowered Learner S18 @Computational Thinker S18 @Creative Communicator S18

A link to the ISTE standards is here. Please make sure that you identify how you see the technology supporting the standard.

Please click on the topics to access the evaluations for each.
 * You will click edit and add your information to each topic.
 * Make sure your name is given in each post.
 * If possible, create a "hotlink" for your resource to either the online web site or an informational page.
 * Click and highlight your text to link
 * Click the word/symbol 'link' in the edit bar
 * Click the word 'web address' and enter the url in the text box.
 * Check the box for new window
 * Click add link.
 * Try to focus on getting different technologies for each week.
 * You may copy and paste the information onto the wiki for your resource.
 * As a group, if someone has already "claimed" a technology for the topic, you must add your information to the resource that was already posted - do NOT just copy paste your evaluation in a different place- please edit the post. You should compile the results. (much like several reviews on a movie or product)
 * The same resource may be used (by different people) for different week's topics.
 * You may only have one post for a resource during one week. (i.e. you can't post 6 in one week and none for 5 more weeks.)
 * You may work ahead.

Each week you will search online (or elsewhere) to find a technology that you feel supports students for that standard. You will post your evaluation of the tool and a short reflection on how the technology would support the students' reaching that standard. You will evaluate by finding the information below either in other reviews or the home page for the app or website and by "playing" with the technology a little. You will select the checklist closest to the purpose/technology for the app/website and use it to base your summary and evaluation for the technology. Although the checklists are primarily targeted at ipad use, you can adapt them to any context.

Information needed in the evaluation:
 * Name of the resource
 * Identify as educational website, software program NOT hosted on the internet, or app.
 * Rate the resource overall on a scale of 1-10 and explain your rating in 2-3 sentences
 * Brief description of the resource including how it can be used with classroom instruction or professional development in 3-5 sentences.
 * Explain how the resource aligns with the instructional strategy examined for the week in 2-3 sentences.
 * Posted evaluation sheet, if you would please. (not graded but preferred).
