Technology in the Classroom

Back to Portfolio Rubric

Part of technology proficieny includes the ability to present content to the classroom using appropriate technologies such as Powerpoint, digital video or slideshows over a projector. That is, content exhibited in electronic format.

This is really no different from past generations of instructors being able to use overhead projectors or chalkboards.

The portfolio should include a detailed description of what was presented and the technology used with a link to presentation materials or screen captures whenever possible. Reflections of what worked or what needs improvement can also be added.

Common presentation technologies include:

  • Powerpoint or Keynote files used in class
  • Digital video or audio shown in class
