Demonstration of Mastery:
In my work as a Helpdesk and Computer Lab Manager I am responsible to supervise several student technicians and lab assistants. Communication among the technicians, lab assistants, users and faculty is critical if the equipment and technology we are providing to our student users is to be used effectively for learning. In my Introduction to Web Design course I planned and built a website to help centralize information within my group. The result of this implementation was increased productivity of my staff and increased user efficiency among the students.
V. D: Teachers use technology to communicate and collaborate with peers, parents, and the larger community in order to nurture student learning.
Demonstration of Mastery:
The website I created for Introduction to Web Development was designed specifically to improve communication among my staff and our users. Topics like lab usage policy, lab schedules and our service level agreement create appropriate expectation of service for users and clarify service parameters for staff while they are on duty. This transparency in service improves the lab learning environment which enhancing learning opportunities.
