Artifact: MIE (Microsoft Innovative Educator)
Outside of the Instructional Technology program, I became MIE (Microsoft Innovative Educator) Certified. To receive this certification I took a course for two full days through Cobb County Schools. I learned how to navigate and integrate the many features of Office 365 for classrooms. In the course I completed different assignments that showed my knowledge and mastery of the programs.
This artifact shows mastery of this standard because it was an additional experience that I decided to give myself. Through this experience I improved my skills and knowledge on different technologies and found more ways to incorporate technology into my classroom. I also learned skills that could help me lead me grade level team and staff at my school in using the different tools that Office 365 offers.
If I could change one thing about this experience, I would have created a learning/ teaching portfolio to share with my colleague. I also would have planned to teach or give professional development to my colleagues right when we returned from school from the summer break, while I was still fresh on the materials and activities form the course.
This artifact impacted my student learning. It help me strengthen my technology skills and usage of technologies. It could later be used for faculty development to help the rest of the staff at my school learn to use the many tools that Office 365 has to offer in the classroom.
