Before we begin MTT Case Study

Read MTT Test Prep Manual pages 50-60.

Have them available as you go through this presentation.

Have some paper and pen or a mind mapping tool available for brainstorming.

Graded on four-point scale

Purpose – extent to which response addresses the components of the assignment All components clearly answered. Leaving out one component will cause

you to lose points – down at least one “grade”

Graded on four-point scale

Purpose –how ALL the components of the assignment are addressed All components clearly answered. Leaving out one & points are taken

off. . .

So what are the questions?

They are no easy button!!!

Before I begin this section,

Make sure you have read the Haddad case study on pages 59-60 of the MTT Test Preparation Manual before you go through the next section.

Before we begin, make sure you have read the case study requirements.

1) Select 3 technologies available

How can they be

integrated?

(YOUR suggestion) for the teacher’s

lesson . . .

What would you expect to see in support?

1.) Why the three proposed technologies

are appropriate and effective

Specifically address:

That teacher THAT lesson That population

age, abilities, needs, class size

That technology as being superior

Available

2) How you will support and guide

teacher in planning? Do not develop the lesson. Teach and mentor the

teacher – do not do the lesson for them.

What are some things you would expect to see for this?

2) How you will support and guide

teacher in planning? What are the objectives Length/time line Requesting technology How to group the students Special populations How would technology be taught to

all? How would technology be

managed? How to assess/what to assess

3) How you will support and guide

teacher in implementing technology? Do not teach the

lesson. What are some

things you would expect to see for this?

3) How you will support and guide

teacher in implementing the technology? Check the technology the day

before Stop in Day 1 morning Show how to troubleshoot Be available – email or planning. Prepare for plan “B” Check at end of day

4) How you will support and guide

teacher in evaluating technology? Do not evaluate the

teacher or the lesson What are some things

you would expect to see for this?

4) How you will support and guide

teacher in evaluating the technology? Mentor – how did it go? What would you do

differently? What worked well? Would you do it again? Would you recommend

it to others? How did I do?

5) How it can be adapted to one other

learning environment?

Pick ONE technology Give details – how would it

enhance? Provide details

Application of knowledge

Accuracy and effectiveness in your knowledge

Note relevant competencies within the MTT test framework. The knowledge would be displayed your

tech choices and support You should follow appropriate role of

mentor.

Support

Knowledge displayed by your support of the planning process regarding the use of the technologies

Make sure that you provide enough supporting details in the planning phase

Make sure you support and don’t take over

Rationale

Sound reasoning and depth of understanding. Reflected in supporting details Reflected by the “wisdom” of your

choices in the additional technology as it relates to the task at hand

Reflected by your general knowledge about effective technology usage, i.e. integration

Synthesis

Put it all together in a nice package How well did you put together and

assess the task at hand? How well did you perform the role of

mentor? What assistance did you provide? Was it within the scope of an MTTs

duties? Did it clearly reflect knowledge of

technology AND pedagogy AND mentoring?

What does it take for a “4”

Addresses ALL components fully Accurate and EFFECTIVE application Strong supporting evidence – specific

and relevant examples Clear, logical reasoning and

comprehensive understanding Synthesis of knowledge and skills

required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “3” Addresses most components sufficiently Generally accurate and effective

application – minor problems in accuracy or effectiveness

Sufficient supporting evidence – with mostly specific and relevant examples

Sufficient reasoning and overall understanding

Sufficient synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “2” Addresses some components sufficiently Partial or ineffective application –

significant problems in accuracy or effectiveness

Minimal supporting evidence with few relevant examples – some extraneous information evident

Limited reasoning and understanding Partial synthesis of knowledge and skills

required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “1” Addresses few components or fails to

complete Largely inaccurate or ineffective

applications Little or no supporting evidence with few

or no relevant examples or much extraneous information evident

Little or no reasoning and understanding Little or no ability to synthesize knowledge

and skills required for role of MTT

Why should we let you be a MTT?

You need to get “3”+

The available technology is ALWAYS the same – in EVERY case study

Know how to use all available technologies

Have some classroom management ideas For example: only two digital cameras, so how could you use this technology for an entire class?

Answer all the questions

Thanks for your attention!

Best of luck on the exam. . .

Get rest the night before your test Make sure you pace yourself in the

exam Take the time to pre-write or plan

before you begin to answer Answer the questions sequentially –

add spaces after each question And show us that you are qualified

to be a Master Technology Teacher
