EDU 697 Final Project

Introduction

The purpose of the Final Project for EDU 697 is demonstrate the use of instructional design principles and theories to redesign prior MATLT activities to demonstrate attainment of the 8 MATLT Program Learning Outcomes. The 8 Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) stated in the Ashford University catalog for academic years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 are as follows:

PLO 1	Demonstrate knowledge and skills related to learning using technology.
PLO 2	Demonstrate knowledge and skills in current and emerging instructional technologies.
PLO 3	Design learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the needs of all learners.
PLO 4	Apply research to support learning in a technology-enhanced environment.
PLO 5	Exemplify ethical practices of technology usage.
PLO 6	Evaluate technology resources to facilitate effective assessment and evaluation.
PLO 7	Utilize technology to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings.
PLO 8	Demonstrate the ability to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of learning and leadership.

Students have to show off their skills in technology to demonstrate their understanding of each PLO’s. My journey in this course was not easy, but very educational. The challenges have prepared me with skills and knowledge to support my students in preparing for the 21^st century. The use of technology is a required skill in the 21^st century (New Tech, 2016). This course has educated me on the use of technology tools like Blogs, Wikis, Social Media and other tools. These tools can be used to motivate students learning. This ePortfolio will allow students to show what they know and able to do in the practice of teaching and learning with technology. In this ePortfolio we are to rank and discuss the importance of each PLO to our individual work setting.
