Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes

representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital
society.

Name of Artifact: Independent Technology Project

Date: November 2014
Course: EDUC 201: Using Computers in Education

Brief Description: This assignment is a compilation of an Excel chart imported to

a Word document, combined with several different charts and templates from
Office Word, and finally a reflection/summary of the projects contents. The
information in the project is charting of my work hours, weekly/monthly income,
and weekly lesson plans. I chose to use this as my project because it demonstrates
my newly learned skills in using Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word templates, and
how to combine two documents of different formats.
Rationale: To demonstrate my understanding of Standard Three: Model DigitalAge Work and Learning, I have chosen to include my Independent Technology
Project. This project includes many different components, which I created as
separate documents and then through exploration and research learned how to
combine them all into one document of the same format. During the development
of the project I learned how to create a chart in Excel and then import it to Word. I
also learned how to select different templates from Word and edit them to fit what
I need to do. In summary, during this project I expanded my skills in several
Microsoft Office programs, and now have knowledge I did not previously have.
This will help me in teaching my students how to operate these programs in the
future. This project was an innovative learning process of simple, common digital
technology.
