Note: Two sets of standards were not used as the did not relate to my artifacts.
_1. TL-I Technology Operations and Concepts
Educational technology leaders demonstrate an advanced understanding of technology operations and concepts. Educational technology leaders: A. Demonstrate knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE NETS for Teachers 2000). Candidates: 1. identify and evaluate components needed for the continual growth of knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology. 2. offer a variety of professional development opportunities that facilitate the ongoing development of knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology. B. Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies. Candidates: 1. offer a variety of professional development opportunities that facilitate the continued growth and development of the understanding of technology operations and concepts. |
Having not attended any professional conferences in Ed. Tech., I did not feel that I could properly apply an artifact to this set of standards. I am hoping to attend a couple in the spring. One with the OTA (Oklahoma Technology Association) and a conference for NAFME (National Association for Music Educators). The NAFME conference theme is Technology in the music classroom. I hope I will have the opportunity to attend these conferences.

_TL-VII Procedures, Policies, Planning, and Budgeting for Technology Environments
Educational technology leaders coordinate development and direct implementation of technology infrastructure procedures, policies, plans, and budgets for PK-12 schools. Educational technology leaders: A. Use the school technology facilities and resources to implement classroom instruction. Candidates: 1. develop plans to configure software/computer/technology systems and related peripherals in laboratory, classroom cluster, and other appropriate instructional arrangements. 2. install local mass storage devices and media to store and retrieve information and resources. 3. prioritize issues related to selecting, installing, and maintaining wide area networks (WAN) for school districts, and facilitate integration of technology infrastructure with the WAN. 4. manage software used in classroom and administrative settings, including productivity tools, information access/telecommunication tools, multimedia/hypermedia tools, school management tools, evaluation/portfolio tools,and computer-based instruction. 5. evaluate methods of installation, maintenance, inventory, and management of software libraries. 6. develop and disseminate strategies for troubleshooting and maintaining various hardware/software configurations found in school settings. 7. select network software packages for operating a computer network system and/or local area network (LAN). 8. analyze needs for technology support personnel to manage school/district technology resources and maximize use by administrators, teachers, and students to improve student learning. B. Follow procedures and guidelines used in planning and purchasing technology resources. Candidates: 1. investigate purchasing strategies and procedures for acquiring administrative and instructional software for educational settings. 2. develop and utilize guidelines for budget planning and management procedures related to educational computing and technology facilities and resources. 3. develop and disseminate a system for analyzing and implementing procedures related to troubleshooting and preventative maintenance on technology infrastructure. 4. maintain and disseminate current information involving facilities planning issues and computer-related technologies. 5. design and develop policies and procedures concerning staging, scheduling, and security for managing hardware, software, and related technologies in a variety of instructional and administrative school settings. 6. research and recommend systems and processes for implementation of distance learning facilities and infrastructure. 7. differentiate among specifications for purchasing technology systems in school settings. C. Participate in professional development opportunities related to management of school facilities, technology resources, and purchases. Candidates: 1. implement technology professional development at the school/district level utilizing adult learning theory. |
I have worked in an I.T. division for 7 years and have had a lot of great experiences with maintaining labs, graduate student and professors computers, and department policies; however, this experience has been at the higher education level and not in PK-12 schools. I look forward to have these experiences as well, but as of now I do not have any artifacts to demonstrate PK-12 experience or my own experiences in higher ed.
