**Mastery of Design & Development, Technology Integration & Media Applications, and Management & Implementation**
I love technology! I love creating fun and exciting ways to take the boredom out of many tasks! Video! Pictures! Cartoons! Games! I love them all!

While working on this portfolio, I went through my Bachelor's portfolio from 1998. The technology course I took in the fall of '97 introduced me to the rudiments of PowerPoint. Of course, in those days, we printed the slides onto overhead transparencies because schools could not project from the computer to a screen. Now, even "rural" schools such as Wilkinson Junior High have projectors and document cameras in every classroom.

The best example in this category is the Social Studies Reading Initiative. > > > DragonSlayer is a program designed for students for when they finish the FAIR assessment.
 * This program includes:
 * BlackBoard
 * Discussion board
 * Pictures
 * Downloadable lesson plans
 * Copies of Notebook Components
 * Notebook
 * Course Map
 * Time Log
 * Reflection Journal
 * Lesson Plans
 * Place for student work
 * Face-to-face Group Training sessions
 * Includes: PowerPoint, teachers hands on with computers, video, and lecture.
 * Introduction to data analysis
 * Where to find data
 * How to use data
 * Advanced data analysis
 * How to create differentiated lessons
 * Introduction of new strategy
 * Teacher presentation of last month's strategy
 * Face-to-face one-on-one coaching
 * Pre-coaching conference (usually a day or two before full day coaching)
 * Full day coaching (5 class periods)
 * Coach models new strategy for first period.
 * Second through fourth periods - coach and teacher team teach strategy with coach releasing more and more to teacher each period.
 * Fifth period, teacher teaches on own with coach watching.
 * Post-coaching conference (usually same afternoon)
 * What went well?
 * What needs changing?
 * How can you make the strategy your own?
 * Follow-up several times over the next couple of weeks to see if teacher needs help with strategy.
 * Short interest grabbing video clips

Sentry Roofing
 * Required  learning how to convert video (real video tape!) to MP4 for editing into smaller sections and adding the PowerPoint review quiz into the video.
 * Required learning FLASH to create the quiz since we wanted the finished course to stand alone on a DVD. Sentry is located in rural Indiana and the Internet is spotty at best.
