Authentic Assessment Assignment

At the end of the course, participants will submit a Cloud Portfolio of lesson plans and sites created online. This project is intended for participants to create online collaborative spaces and activities for use in the classroom. An important component of the Cloud Portfolio is a written presentation of the student’s philosophy of technological applications in the classroom as well as a personal reflection on the process of creating the Cloud Portfolio. Guidelines for this project are outlined below. This assignment has several objectives, but the most important may be that it gives participants the opportunity to create online collaborative spaces and activities for use in the classroom and build lesson plans that make effective use of those online tools.

Required Components of Cloud Portfolio:
 * Three Online Applications:
 * Create a Voicethread
 * Create a video using iMovie, Microsoft Live Moviemaker, or Jing
 * Create a wiki in order to share your portfolio with the class
 * Write and submit two (2) technology-integrated lesson plans:
 * Each lesson plan should include the following components: (1) ISTE Student Standard being addressed; (2) grade level & subject area; (3) Objective – what students will know, understand and be able to do as a result of the lesson, (4) Procedure & materials – be sure to include [|hyperlinks] to any online source materials used, and (5) Assessment for the lesson.
 * The required lesson plans are as follows: Write two (2) lesson plans that make use of the online applications you have created for your students (see above).
 * Written Philosophy & Reflection:
 * The written philosophy and reflection should clearly articulate (1) how the integration of technology in the classroom improves instruction and (2) a personal reflection on the process of creating the Cloud Portfolio. It should be 3-5 double-spaced pages in length.
 * Cloud Portfolio Presentation:
 * Share your Cloud Portfolio with the class by creating a wiki on which you will embed your online applications and upload your lesson plans.
