I am in the Instructional Technology Master's program. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Middle Childhood Education at Kent State University. Today I have my dream job, teaching social studies at the Falcon Academy of Creative Arts, an arts integrated school in Brimfield. My husband and are both students at the University of Akron.

I student taught overseas in Germany and after that I spent a month backpacking around Europe. I am currently an elementary school teacher on the Navajo Nation in Arizona. I have really taken advantage of being a teacher and how that allows me to live any where in the world really. I enjoy teaching on the rez', my classes are 100% Navajo and I find it to be such an eye opening experience. Growing up in Ohio was nice, but living in a state that gets 330 days of sunshine is hard to pass. ||

Instructional Design Problem

 * What is the need for this instruction? ** Students are required to demonstrate their knowledge on computer based assessments. They lack the required technology skills to accurately portray their current academic ability when assessed in a digital format. Although most students understand the basic functions of the computer, they need formal training on typing, scrolling, and basic problem solving skills to be able to demonstrate their knowledge digitally.
 * Who is the target audience** (and other potential audiences) The target audience is the fifth grade students at Falcon Academy of Creative Arts in Brimfield, Ohio.
 * What is the anticipated size/scope of the project?** The students grade level and current abilities will guide the size and scope of the project. One of the main goals of the project is to increase the typing ability of fifth grade students, so they will be able to efficiently express their thoughts.
 * Are there known delivery constraints?** Delivery constraints include short attention spans and large class size. There are also budget constraints to consider. There is no guarantee to purchase programs and/or instructional materials suggested by the team. We cannot count on homework assignments being completed.
 * Assuming this instructional product is completed before the end of the semester, would members of the target audience be available so that the team** **could conduct a formative evaluation?** Yes, a release may need to be signed.

 * **Your Name** || **Comment** || **Questions** || **Team's Response** ||
 * TAW88 || I like the video tutorials for the teachers they make it easy and quick to learn. || I noticed that you have a calculator video does that mean that students will be using a calculator for the test? || Thank you for commenting on our project. We are not sure if students will be allowed to use calculators on the new test for fifth grade, but we wanted them to be prepared just in case ||
 * Aimee Davis || I LOVE LOVE LOVE your screencast on typingweb. I actually sent it to my principal hoping she will support me starting it in my classroom. || What inspired you to create an instructional design unit for teachers. This is a very unique and beneficial idea! || We appreciate you doing that, just watch out because sometimes jing videos show ads for stuff that is not school appropriate. wv ||
 * Verlinda Bennett || I like the idea of having teacher’s first view and practice the assessment tools before students have access. The tutorial for the calculator was nice. I was not aware of using “view, edit, help”, because my focus was only using the key pad for the most obvious calculating the numbers. Good job! || Why do you believe that the team’s goals were not reached? I was surprised that 100% of the teachers would not recommend the usage of the videos to help prepare for the OAA. What do you contribute this finding to? ||  ||
 * Holly Mothes || I too love the videos!! Teaching the teachers gives the students 100% better experience and makes the teacher more confident with technology! || Do you think that the teacher that did not want to participate were still to intimidated by technology? Or even the thought of incorporating technology in the classroom? ||  ||
