Before we begin MTT Case Study Read MTT Test Prep Manual pages 50-60. Have them available as you go through this presentation. Have some paper and pen or a mind mapping tool available for brainstorming.

MTT Certification Exam Case Study Assignment

Advance Organizer To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective. Why should we let you be a MTT?

So what are the questions? They are no easy button!!!

Before I begin this section, Make sure you have read the Haddad case study on pages 59-60 of the MTT Test Preparation Manual before you go through the next section.

Before we begin, make sure you have read the case study requirements.

1) Select 3 technologies from the available list How can they be integrated? (YOUR suggestion) for the teacher’s lesson . . .

are appropriate and effective 1.) Why the three proposed technologies are appropriate and effective Specifically address: That teacher THAT lesson That population age, abilities, needs, class size That technology as being superior Available

teacher in planning? 2) How you will support and guide Do not develop the lesson. Teach and mentor the teacher – do not do the lesson for them. What are some things you would expect to see for this?

2) How you will support and guide teacher in planning?

teacher in implementing technology? 3) How you will support and guide teacher in implementing technology? Do not teach the lesson. What are some things you would expect to see for this? Think of your teacher who has never used technology before and wants to try it now. . . How would you help them?

teacher in implementing the technology? 3) How you will support and guide teacher in implementing the technology?

teacher in evaluating technology? 4) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating technology? Do not evaluate the teacher or the lesson What are some things you would expect to see for this? How would you help the teacher better understand how “it went?”

teacher in evaluating the technology? 4) How you will support and guide teacher in evaluating the technology?

learning environment? 5) How it can be adapted to one other Pick ONE technology Pick one subject (provided) Pick one lesson Give details – how would it ENHANCE that one subject and one lesson? Provide details

Application of knowledge Accuracy and effectiveness in your knowledge Note relevant competencies within the MTT test framework. Your knowledge would be displayed by your tech choices and support You should follow appropriate role of MENTOR.

Support Knowledge displayed by your support of the planning process regarding the use of the technologies Make sure that you provide enough supporting details in the planning phase Make sure you support and don’t take over

Rationale Sound reasoning and depth of understanding. Reflected in supporting details Reflected by the “wisdom” of your choices in the additional technology as it relates to the task at hand Reflected by your general knowledge about effective technology usage, i.e. integration

Synthesis Put it all together in a nice package How well did you put together and assess the task at hand? How well did you perform the role of mentor? What assistance did you provide? Was it within the scope of an MTTs duties? Did it clearly reflect knowledge of technology AND pedagogy AND mentoring?

What does it take for a “4” Addresses ALL components fully Accurate and EFFECTIVE application Strong supporting evidence – specific and relevant examples Clear, logical reasoning and comprehensive understanding Synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “3” Addresses most components sufficiently Generally accurate and effective application – minor problems in accuracy or effectiveness Sufficient supporting evidence – with mostly specific and relevant examples Sufficient reasoning and overall understanding Sufficient synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “2” Addresses some components sufficiently Partial or ineffective application – significant problems in accuracy or effectiveness Minimal supporting evidence with few relevant examples – some extraneous information evident Limited reasoning and understanding Partial synthesis of knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

What does it take for a “1” Addresses few components or fails to complete Largely inaccurate or ineffective applications Little or no supporting evidence with few or no relevant examples or much extraneous information evident Little or no reasoning and understanding Little or no ability to synthesize knowledge and skills required for role of MTT

You need to get “3”+ The available technology is ALWAYS the same – in EVERY case study Know how to use all available technologies – don’t use it if you don’t know how Have some classroom management ideas For example: only two digital cameras, so how could you use this technology for an entire class? Answer ALL the questions

One last important idea Since there are 5 questions, it only makes sense to answer them in order and within each discussion. Answer 1 first, then move to 2, then move to 3. . . It is easier to count at the end to see if you have answered all of them It is easier for the reader to read them – be nice to the readers!

Thanks for your attention! To pass the case study portion of the MTT exam, you must understand what the questions are and what the expectations are for a beginning MTT to be effective. Why should we let you be a MTT?

Best of luck on the exam. . . Get rest the night before your test Make sure you pace yourself in the exam Take the time to pre-write or plan before you begin to answer Answer the questions sequentially – add spaces after each question And show us that you are qualified to be a Master Technology Teacher
