3. Introduction  High School Teacher in the Ag. Dept., Department Chairman  Sheep Advisor  Banking, Co-op, Ag Computer Team Coach  Husband, Harry, Director of Guidance  My Website: http://chowchillahigh.k12.ca.us/calendar /maddux/public_html

4. Expectations  Increase technology integration into classroom curriculum  Integrate technology into special projects  Learn new presentation techniques  Integration of Internet into curriculum

5. Actual Results  Knowledge of MS-Word as a web authoring tool  Ability to utilize web as a resource for both students and teacher  Ability to fuse different programs together to format a lesson plan

6. Successes and Shortcomings I feel the major success of my lesson is that all 7 Ag. Instructors and other staff teaching ROP will be able to utilize the Employability Portfolio. Using this format, any student will be able to complete this lesson individually by accessing Internet. One shortcoming is that all the Internet links utilized in this lesson must consistently be checked and updated.

7. Shortcomings Summarized  Instability of links  Lack of “instant” feedback or review  Volume of resources may detract from creativity  Assumes Internet competence

8. Successes Summarized  24/7 access to lesson plan  Self contained lesson plan  Widely available to all ROP students  Re-enforces use of technology while completing lesson

9. Student Data Data indicates that the post-test data is significantly higher than the pretest data. I attribute this to understanding of components and information needed to compose a resume by the use of a template or by using skills gained in Word.

10. Resume Construction

11. Summary of Revisions  The Student Data chart showed that the students improved their “style” through the use of templates or in the advanced class by incorporating the functions of MS Word.  The following revisions were made during CTAP-295: Revise objectives, update website, review hyperlinks, revision of pretest to meet objectives.

12. Suggested Revisions RevisionSuggestions ObjectivesRefinement of objectives Update websiteHave students check hyperlinks for validity PretestModified to meet refined objectives

13. Conclusion The course has enabled me to better utilize technology in my curriculum. Learning to use the tools provided by the Internet and web page technology has provided me with the ability to place lessons on the Internet and improve student access to them. I have learned that the Internet is a valuable resource for students provided it is Teacher- Directed. Internet resources and current search engines require a degree of competency to utilize them correctly and efficiently. An asset of electronic web-based lessons is that they are readily accessible for revision and updating.
