In the 7th characteristic I agree that the Sped Toolkit will work great in order for the students to integrate content with pedagogy. Another program that I have become very comfortable with that would work for this characteristic also is TechSteps. TechSteps is great for teachers and students because it uses technology and integrates it with core subjects and even lets the teacher know which standards are being met. With Characteristic 8 I think you came up with great artifacts that can be connected to show teachers being able to be reflective. Teachers must reflect on every aspect of the classroom and their teaching in order to make themselves a better teacher.

Characteristic seven is a little confusing to understand for me, but you explained it very well, so I feel that I understand it a lot better now. The tech tool kit is a good example of an artifact for that, because it does integrate different content areas, just like you said. I almost chose characteristic eight to report on and I think that the inquiry project is an excellent example of an artifact for that, because I had that down as one of my examples for this as well. Reflecting is an important thing to do as a novice teacher, and you did a good job reporting on it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
