Before we begin MTT Case Study Have some paper and pen or a mind

mapping tool available for brainstorming.

Case Study Assignment

MTT Certification Exam

Advance Organizer To pass the case study

portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective.

Why should we let you be a MTT?

Danger

DO NOT go below a “3”

So what are the questions?

They are no easy button!!!

Before we begin, make sure you have read the case study requirements.

Question 1

Identify three technologies from the additionalavailable technology list that would be appropriate for enhancing this lesson while addressing the diverse needs of all students.Explain why the technologies you identified are appropriate.

1) Select 3 technologies FROM THE AVAILABLE LIST

Justification for their

integration

(YOUR expert suggestion) for the teacher’s

lesson . . .

Available Technologies

1.) Why the three proposed technologies

are appropriate and effective

Specifically address:

That teacher THAT lesson That population

age, abilities, needs, class size

That technology as being superior

Available

Question 2

Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in planning the lesson then evaluating student performance. Explain how your support and guidance would assist Mr. Haddad in achieving the goals of the lesson for all 22 students in the class.

2) How you will support and guide

teacher in planning? DO NOT develop the

lesson. Teach and MENTOR the

teacher – do not do the lesson for them AND do not re-do the lesson for them.

What are some things you would expect to see for this?

2) How you will support and guide teacher in planning lesson

and evaluating student performance?

AND Meets diverse needs of ALL

students

Question 3

Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in implementing the integration of technology into the lesson.

3) How you will support and guide

teacher in implementing technology? Do not teach the lesson. What are some things you

would expect to see for this? Think of your teacher who has never used technology before and wants to try it now. . . How would you help them?

3) How you will support and guide

teacher in IMPLEMENTING the technology?

Question 4

Describe how you would support and guide Mr. Haddad in evaluating the applications of technology in order to meet the goals of the lesson.

4) How you will support and guide

teacher in evaluating technology? Do not evaluate the teacher or the

lesson How would you help the teacher

better understand how “it went?” Teach them to fish – don’t feed them the fish!

4) How you will support and guide

teacher in evaluating the technology?

Question 5

Describe how a technology you identified might be used to enhance a lesson of your choosing in English or social studies.

5) How it can be adapted to one other

learning environment?

Pick ONE technology (that you have already used)

Pick ONE subject (provided) Pick ONE lesson Give details – how would it ENHANCE that

one subject and one lesson? Provide details

Application of knowledge Accuracy and effectiveness in your

knowledge Note relevant competencies within

the MTT test framework. Your knowledge would be displayed by

your tech choices and support You should follow appropriate role of

MENTOR.

Support Knowledge displayed by your

support of the planning process regarding the use of the technologies

Make sure that you provide enough supporting details in the planning phase

Make sure you support and don’t take over

Rationale

Sound reasoning and depth of understanding. Reflected in supporting details Reflected by the “wisdom” of your

choices in the additional technology as it relates to the task at hand

Reflected by your general knowledge about effective technology usage, i.e. integration

What is technology INTEGRATION?

Synthesis Put it all together in a nice package

How well did you put together and assess the task at hand?

How well did you perform the role of mentor?

What assistance did you provide? Was it within the scope of an MTTs duties? Did it clearly reflect knowledge of technology

AND pedagogy AND mentoring?

What does it take for a “4” Addresses ALL components fully Accurate and EFFECTIVE application Strong supporting evidence – specific

and relevant examples Clear, logical reasoning and

comprehensive understanding Synthesis of knowledge and skills

required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “3” Addresses most components sufficiently Generally accurate and effective

application – minor problems in accuracy or effectiveness

Sufficient supporting evidence – with mostly specific and relevant examples

Sufficient reasoning and overall understanding

Sufficient synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

You need to get “3”+ The available technology is ALWAYS

the same – in EVERY case study Know how to use all available

technologies – don’t use it if you don’t know how

Have some classroom management ideas For example: only two digital cameras, so how could you use this technology for an entire class?

Answer ALL the questions

One last CRITICAL idea Since there are 5 questions, it only

makes sense to answer them in order and within each discussion.

Answer 1 first, then move to 2, then move to 3. . . It is easier to count at the end to see if

you have answered all of them It is easier for the reader to read them –

be nice to the readers!
