__﻿ EDLD 5306-Concepts of Educational Technology__
 Above is my STaR Chart Analysis for the Elementary School I currently work at. The STaR Chart requires campuses to rate themselves based on their use of technology. There are campus and individual teacher charts. Our other assignments for this course included creating a blog (which has been used throughout the entire program), and creating this wiki for a place to store all assignments and course refelctions.

__EDLD 5362-Information Systems Management__ [[file:2443 EDLD 5362 Week 3 Assignment.doc]]
  ﻿In this course, I created a multi-media powerpoint presentation of a technology plan for my campus. This included the mission, goals, current technology, and short-term/long-term plans. Another assignment for this course was to write a paper about ideal classrooms in the future.

__EDLD 5333-Leadership for Accountability __
 In this course, I did a Comprehensive Needs Assessment of my campus. This required me to evaluate the various Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports, and to select a target area of weakness. I then created a goal and objective for this target area. In the final action plan, I created an agenda for a one-day professional development that addresses the target weakness. Above is the fourth assingment: Action Planning and Personal Growth.

__EDLD 5368-Instructional Design__
In Instructional Design, I created an online course through Schoology. My course was called "All About Water." It was for 5th grade students, and the content included the water cycle, states of matter, and uses of water in a three week span. There was not a submitted assignment, as the professors were invited to the course and were able to access it there.

__EDLD 5388-Web Design and__ __Development__


This was a very interesting course. We learned about the process it takes to create a web page and to design web pages. The above course embedded assignments include a Web Policy, which addresses various security, legal, and ethical issues in regards to internet use on elementary campus, a Memo to a Web Development Company, and a Project Definition. We were required to upload a podcast and a blog as well.

This was the first course in the program that required us to work in groups. Our main assignment was to create a Public Service Announcement. We created our PSA on Cyberbullying. We worked in groups, and had to figure out a way to meet and collaborate from different places across Texas. We uploaded the Pre-Production Document to Google Docs. We all were able to modify the assignment simultaniously, while chatting about our roles and responsibilities. We then decided times to meet twice a week in Google Docs. It was an excellent way to collaborate. Our PSA turned out great, we were all pleased with it. We learned a lot about video production, sound editing, and higher quality shots. Also in this course we had to create a one minute digital story about ourselves. Mine was about how to make my favorite snack, a PBJ.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">__EDLD 5344-School Law__
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Above are the assignments from weeks 2-4 of School Law. During these three weeks’ assignment, I was working with Joseph, a fictional middle school student enrolled at my school who requires an Individualized Education Program. I developed an IEP, monitored how his program was implemented in the classroom, and used my knowledge of student rights and school management to make sound decisions when he engaged in behavior that called for disciplinary action.

EDLD 5366 ANIMATION

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Above are the three main assignments from Digital Graphics and Desktop Publishing. The first few weeks we learned about the elements of design (contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity). The Week 2 Assignment is a personal logo I created in a program called "Comic LIfe." The next week, I designed a newsletter that incorporated my logo and the elements of design. And the final assignment, which I found to be the most fun and addicting, was creating an animation. I created my animation using Styx, and you can click the link above to take you to the page on my wiki that is housing my simple, yet comical animation about volleyball.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">__EDLD 5345-Human Resource Management__
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">These are my submitted assignments for weeks 1-4 of Human Resource Management. This course was dealt with the ways school leaders handle conflict, hire staff, fire staff, and the laws and codes of conduct for personnel. Many parts of my assignments involved interviewing the school leaders of my campus.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">__EDLD 5364-Teaching With Technology__
