This showcase is a gallery of the work, which I have completed as part of my Special Education and Technology Education concentrations. Throughout this education experience I have had the opportunity to work and reflect individually, in partnership and in small groups. The work in the following two galleries is a showcase of the work I have completed while on my journey to becoming a more knowledge educator.

TWS-3 Test of Written Spelling
|
As part of my Special Education endorsement I learned about many standardize test and formal assessments. For this specific assignment I worked with a group on the TWS-3 Test of Written Spelling Assessment. Through this project we discussed the how to properly give a formal assessment, analyze the results and use the results for future instruction. To display our results and findings my group and I designed a Prezi presentation, which we then presented to our classmates.

Nonfiction "reading with a pencil"
As part of the course CEP 818, I completed a semester long project and study on Non-fiction reading and writing. I chose a topic I would currently trying in my second grade classroom. I was able to develop a variety of lesson plan ideas, while incorporating technology in my classroom. My students became more successful at planning non-fiction pieces of writing and became stronger non-fiction readers. I saw my students using hand signals while reading in large group and with partners. I also saw my second grader writers singing songs and using a variety of tools to construct non-fiction pieces of writing.

A study of the severe behavior: bullying
As part of CEP 841, I created a Prezi presentation on bullying in schools. My focus was to education others about the severity of bullying. If we know what it is and popular causes of it, we are much more like to help prevent it. I focused on displaying information not only on how to help children who are victims of bullying, but also how to help child who are bullies.

learning technology by design
As part of CEP 818 Learning Technology by Design I created a website to showcase my work throughout the course. The weskit contains independent, partner and group work I completed as part of the course. This website also links to the work I completed in the "Mathematical Practices" website site above. This course challenged me to be creative and think about using technology as a tool in my general education 2nd grade classroom.

Common core: Mathematical practices
|
As part of my Technology endorsement I learned about many web-based tools for students and teachers to use. I was able to develop interactive lessons and parts of lessons in my courses and then bring them into my 2nd grade classroom to try with my students. This tool is Prezi. I used Prezi to display the Common Core Mathematical Practices my students were beginning to know and use. I used this Prezi during math workshop to remind students of what Mathematicians look like and sound like during "explore" workshop time.
