Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences:

Educational technology leaders plan, design, and model effective learning environments and multiple experiences supported by technology.

Internet project - I developed an interactive website called Resume Rendezvous to assist students in writing and formatting their resumes.  This Internet project was for an assignment in Instructional Applications of the Internet class.  It is one of the educational applications that I developed of which I am most proud, for several reasons.  First of all, working on this project allowed me the opportunity to learn and use WordPress, a very professional-looking blog and website authoring tool.  But perhaps more importantly, I have actually used this with people to help them create their resumes, and as a result I have witnessed the successful applicability of this website. 

The Resume Rendezvous Internet project illustrates achievement of this standard by my ability to design a learning opportunity that integrates technology to enable support for diverse needs of students when teaching them how to create resumes. 

Instructional Design project - I created a project for Instructional Design class called Creating Charts in Excel.  In this class all steps of the instructional design methodology used by Dick and Carey were the framework for the project.   When I did this project in 2008, I had no inkling that some of its components would become so familiar to me as they did when I was a practicum student in Instructional Design at The Cleveland Clinic during the spring semester of 2011.  The components of my Instructional Design project are as follows:

• Needs assessment
• Instructional analysis
• Learner and context analysis
• Performance objectives
• Student assessment
• Design document
• Instructional materials
  
• Formative evaluation and Revisions report
