Michelle P. Richardson

I am entering my senior year at Towson University. I am seeking my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education. It is my professional goal to differentiate my lessons effectively so that the needs of all children are met. I want to engage the children so that they can reach the optimum amount of learning. I believe that technology is the tool that I need to maximize each learning experience for a child. I think that technology is an intrinsic reward and it is a strong motivator for many students. Technology can open doors for many students who had barriers that prevented them from being successful in school. This portfolio shows several examples of, my command for, and proficiency with, many various forms of technology.

Self Assessment for Technology Course-

I have grow professionally because of the instructional technology course that I took at Towson. I have learned to use technology to teach instead of as a backdrop for a lesson. I have learned several different ways to assess students including forms, blogs, podcast, movies, clickers, web 2.0 tools, and having students record screen shots. I want to help my students succeed and prepare them to be successful in life. This course was challenging, but I feel that my goals for the course were met excellently. I am confident and ready to apply the skills in classroom setting.
