 * Anna Gannon || I would like participants to demonstrate their knowledge of the use of technology tools by integrating that tool into their instruction.

Teacher use of technology vs. technology integration || To demonstrate their understanding of true technology integration, I would ask that participants select a technology tool that they have learned to use and develop a lesson that utilizes that application. For example, if the participant is learning about the uses of Microsoft Excel, they could develop a lesson that includes an introduction to the tool and then requires students to use the tool to collect data and present their findings using Excel. ||
 * Barb Randolph || Participants will understand that technology must be used ethically and responsibly. || **Formative:** Discussion responses, reflection posts, copyright compliance on assignments, and appropriate questioning.


 * Summative:** Teachers will develop a technology lesson in which they convey information on piracy, plagiarism and online bullying while modeling the correct use of citations and the application of copyright laws. ||
 * Barb Randolph || Participants will understand that technology can be used for collecting, organizing, creating, communicating, and presenting information. || **Formative:** Discussion responses, basic mastery of podcasting, Google Earth, iMovie, and Inspiration, reflection posts. scores on interim assignments.

|| Anderson || Course participants should understand that our society has become increasingly dependent on technology. When children leave the school building they are engaged with technology on a number of varying levels and this has become a regular part of their everyday lives. As teachers, we need to find ways to engage students in the same ways during school in an effort to increase motivation, ensure retention and improve overall academic performance. || **Formative:** discussion responses and posts throughout the course in which participants describe their own personal growth and any changes in perspective regarding the role technology plays in our everyday lives including education.
 * Summative:** Teachers will create a wiki on which they will describe a variety of technology tools, including the ones covered in this course, and collaborate about possible instructional uses of those tools.

 * Summative:**(taken from the Maryland Teacher Technology Standards), participants will design, implement and assess learning experiences that incorporate use of technology in the curriculum-related instructional activity to support understanding, inquiry, problem-solving, communication or collaboration. ||
 * Danielle Du Puis || Participants will use various tools and resources and understand that there is an appropriate resource and tool for every possible lesson. || To demonstrate their understanding of tools and resources, participants will list ways tools and resources can be used in various lessons and adapt their current plans to include the use of these tools and resources. Participants will understand how each can improve upon the lesson and concepts being taught. ||
