 * // Directions: //** In submitting your Course-based Embedded Assignment Log for each Assignment in Appendix G of the Internship Handbook., you are required to reflect on the assignments by completing a reflection in your course wiki/eportfolio that should contain a minimum of 300 words. These logs will be used to assist you in completing your EDLD 5370 Internship comprehensive exam final report. Students should use and cit their textbook references as well as two additional references when writing each reflection. The reflection must consist of statements regarding the knowledge you gained from the assignment and how the assignment helped you master the Technology Facilitator Standard(s) /Indicator(s).

Assignment (see Appendix G) || As campus professional development activity, create a wiki-based study group with 8 teachers leading and support teachers who can create a lesson using Universal Design for Learning at the CAST Lesson Building at [], create a sample electronic book to share with your learning team members. Lastly, add a team reflection to your Google site about the process of creating an electronic book. || Reflection/Learning: Focus reflection on the Technology Facilitator Standards and Performance Indicators. Use textbook references as well as two additional references. ( Minimum of 250 Words ) || Creating the lesson using the Universal Design for Learning or UDL was a good experience. According to Strangman, Rappolt, Rose, & Meyer (2002), using CAST helps to pointed out four flaws of traditional assessments thusly: one or a combination of individual student learning differences, test media characteristics and student support provisions can confound results, and that the value of assessment data is limited by poor integration with curriculum limits. Using the CAST lesson Builder helps to store the lessons and helps to make sure you, as a teacher, are covering all of your bases and not forgetting any part of the lesson. Storing these lessons can help keep track of your lessons for the future and you can also go back and add things that might work better and remove things that just did not work out in the lesson. Using this program has helped me take another look at what I am putting in my lessons and making sure I do have something for everyone.

In creating a electronic book, it has given me yet another resource I will be able to share with my students. Having them create an eBook will further engage them in the lesson and allowing them to add pictures, sounds and even voices to their projects to make for an interesting interactive lesson. With them creating these books and then sharing them with other students, it will help them not only be engaged while creating the book but after when they are reviewing other books. Students can see what others did and then make changes that further their original ideas. In a way, they will be working together to improve their own projects and make them more interactive and more detailed. I believe this would be a good way for students to improve not only the products they put out, but also their ability to work well with others. According to Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (1999), “Knowledge is constructed in multiple ways, through a variety of tools, resources, experiences, and contexts” (p. 1). Through this and other activities students will get a chance to have a variety of different learning experience which will benefit all of them.

Standard II dealing with planning and designing learning environments and experiences goes along with these activities. Williamson and Redish (2009), helps us better understand the importance of the planning and the collaboration that takes place during activities. The more people you involve in this process the more likely you are to find the problems and work them out before presenting them to the students. Working together was a key element in creating the group lesson and staff development. Educators from different subject areas help create a strong lesson to present to the students. I looked at this project as a way to continue to improve on my lifelong learning because even though a lesson can go perfect one year the following year it might fail. Having done this activity and collaborated with others has shown me just how much I can get done if I’m willing to work with others. One thing that I will continue to work on as I continue to learn is my willingness to work with others.
