CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Jill Breslin Self Defense,by

My name is Kelly Daugherty and I am a high school teacher at Independence High School in San Jose. My web site is My is This project will allow high school students to go on my web page and visualize basic self defense moves. It can be used when a student is absent from class or as a technology teaching tool.

Putting a lesson on a web site Create a lesson to be used in the classroom Create a power point that can be used as a test Students who are absent will be able to make up work Expectations

Successes Completed project! Students engaged Students who were absent made up the test without the lab being set up again Another style of teaching was implemented Meets more than one standard

Shortcomings There were not enough computers for the students The classroom I teach in does not have internet connection The pre and post test should have been longer

Student Data The students ended the self defense unit with a significant amount of new knowledge. All but five students increased their knowledge by 20% or more.

Revisions My goal for next year will be to get all my students in a computer lab and have them look up self defense scenarios on the internet. I believe if they read about attacks that have happened to others they will begin to understand how vulnerable they are.

Summary This project helped me understand how much there is to know about technology in the classroom. Students should be given the opportunity to enhance your teaching by allowing them to experience all that technology has to offer. Allowing students to make-up assignments they missed through the internet was worth all the time and effort that was put into this project.
