Artifacts Connected to MTTS and ISTE Standards

Writing Curriculum
with SCRATCH
Core skills as a 21st century learner include collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and
communication. Educators need to provide opportunities for students to engage in their own learning. It
is not just based upon tools and resources, but upon enhancing educators instructional design methods
and frameworks to reinforce and implement conceptual understanding.
By writing curriculum for SCRATCH, I met MTTS Standard II through using effective technologies to
employ communication and interaction into instruction. Working with software such as SCRATCH and
other online resources has also allowed me to integrate skills such as programming by designing
instructional lessons and activities with the use of technology. This aligns with MTTS Standard V as
well.

Instructional Design
Framework

This artifact demonstrates and promotes real-life application problems, builds on concepts using prior
knowledge, and differs for all learners. Instructional design processes allowed me to analyze, develop,
and evaluate through the course of pebbles. The pebbles consisted of setting up a lesson, analyzing
what students needed to know, designing how to get them to the end result, developing step-by-step
approaches of instruction with increased complexity, implementing and demonstrating how to solve a
problem, and evaluating students on their knowledge of the problem and skill.
Upon completion of this project, I was able to identify the components and applications of instructional
systems design (ISD) theory, conduct a needs analysis in an instructionally appropriate setting, identify
and select appropriate task analysis procedures, and select a formative and summative assessment tool.
It was important to meet MTTS Standard I and ISTE-T Standard 2 while identifying and developing
prototypes in these instructional design theories.
