EDRS 6301

Pathfinders in
MEDT 7474










Working on this project helped me to
identify my students characteristics,
knowledge construction/transfer, and
motivation factors which affects the way
they learn. Having this knowledge
allows me to approach them in the way
that is most likely to impact them,
whether it is one-on-one, in a group,
setting up peer assistance, or just guiding
them in the right direction and letting
them learn on their own.

The CITI training refreshed ethical
research

Working as a group to create a wiki for
students and teachers to find print,
online, and media resources to support
Georgia Performance Standards in social
studies taught me that though initially
the work may be time-consuming, it is
ultimately a terrific resource for
classrooms.

Handbook MEDT

This project made me realize that some
areas of the collection are in desperate
need of updating and that certain
materials need promotion the students
naturally gravitate to what their friends
are reading they dont necessarily
realize how great of a selection is
available to them in the media center.


Working on the handbook assignments
allowed me to research a variety of
policies and procedures in other districts,
as well as the ones already established in
my own.

Two Year Media
Plan from MEDT

Blogs, Stand-
alone orientation,
digital storytelling
from MEDT 7477
This project made me think about
reading programs for the entire school
those students in the regular
classroom, those in the Gifted program,
and those in the Special Education
program. In detailing one of the reading
promotions, I realized with a bit of
thought and some tweaking, all students
can easily be included.



Bringing technology into the media
center and/or classroom is not difficult.
It can be integrated into current lessons
instead of a response paper, add to a
blog; rather than an oral presentation,
create a digital story. Giving students
options gives them more control and
may even get them excited about turning
in their assignments!

Agenda in MEDT
7461


The projects completed in MEDT 6401
(Instructional Technology) showed me
how easy it was to integrate 21
st
Century
Skills into lessons. Collaborating with
teachers will introduce them to these
tools; working with the students in the
media center will reinforce these skills
for both the teachers and students.


Many of the teachers with whom I work
are intimidated by technology. Hosting
professional development that allows
them to become familiar with some tools
by creating a lesson while someone is
there to help can help to coax them from
their comfort zone.

F.A.T. city videos
from SPED 6706
Learning about the students I serve helps
me to understand where they are and
how best to help them. Not all students
are alike; knowing living conditions,
access to technology, whether a student
is in the Gifted or Special Education
program, and other demographic
information all help to guide instruction.



While there wasnt an artifact from
watching this series of videos, I will
never forget them. I thought these
videos were an excellent explanation of
how students with learning disabilities
experience classroom instruction.
Absolutely eye-opening.
