Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task: Summary in GRASPS form
Goal: The goal is to develop an eportfolio that documents successful learning of ICT I competencies. The eportfolio will be used to apply to be a teaching assistant for the summer Computer Boot Camp. The eportfolio will also be submitted for competition in the Spring Student MECA conference.
Role: You are a student in ICT I who is applying for a job to assist the teacher in the summer Computer Boot Camp. The Boot Camp is a fundraising activity that the teacher and students do each summer to raise funds to attend the MECA Student competition each Spring. The students with the top three portfolios will assist the teacher in the summer camp, attend MECA free of charge, and compete in the eportfolio contest at MECA.
Audience. The audience reviewing the eportfolio will be ICT teachers. The audience at the summer Computer Boot Camp will be students and adults who want to learn computer basics.
Situation: You are applying for a job to assist the teacher in the summer Computer Boot Camp. The teacher needs student assistants who are knowledgeable about hardware and software as well as how to troubleshoot problems. Student assistants will need to be able to communicate with students and adults with varied experience. It is important to be patient and helpful to all participants. These student assistants will attend the Student MECA conference in the Spring free of charge as payment for their work. They will also compete in the eportfolio competition.
Performance: You will create an eportfolio (multimedia project) that documents successful learning in the ICT I classroom. The artifacts will be assessed throughout the year and students will select their best work for the eportfolio.
Standards: The eportfolio will be assessed by a rubric. The eportfolio will consist of the following:
·  The purpose of the eportfolio.
·  The electronic files or artifacts from each unit.
·  The application of principles of presentation development to include ease of navigation, layout and text elements.
·  The use of different media.
·  The student’s reflection of learning in each unit and application to the real world.
·  The student’s self evaluation of the portfolio and a written explanation about why he/she should be selected for the summer camp and to attend and compete in MECA.
Key Criteria:
This is a culminating activity that includes artifacts or projects from the units taught in ICT I. These artifacts have been assessed throughout the year using checklists, unit tests, observations, rubrics. The portfolio will be assessed with a rubric and a timeline of activities and due dates.
Other Evidence
This is a culminating activity that includes artifacts or projects from the units taught in ICT I. These artifacts have been assessed throughout the year using checklists, unit tests, observations, rubrics.
The multimedia unit will be assessed with a unit test and rubrics evaluating presentations within the unit. Students are continually assessed with the Workplace Skills Checklist also.
Students who are selected as student assistants will have workshop evaluations and MECA awards.
Stage 3 – Learning Plan
Learning Activities Consider the WHERETO elements
Anticipatory Set
Review information covered in prior lessons on how to:
o  Create multimedia presentations including formatting, saving, and printing.
o  Integrate word processing and multimedia presentation applications to create, edit, and print speaker notes.
o  Present a multimedia presentation.
·  Ask the students how they think multimedia presentations are used in the real world. Discuss examples including applying for job.
·  Ask students if they would like to assist their teacher in the summer Boot camp. Explain to them that you need 3-5 students to assist with the summer Computer Boot Camp and you will need to come up with an application process.
·  Tell the students you must select students who are competent in computer basics and can teach others. Ask them how you should select the top students. Discuss suggestions and lead the conversation to the topic of eportfolios and how they are used in applying for jobs.
W: The teacher will explain expectations for the eportfolio project to demonstrate competency in ICT I.
The student will understand requirements of the project.
H: The teacher will establish a real world setting for students to utilize their multimedia skills.
The student will apply multimedia skills to an eportfolio of mastered skills in ICT I. The students will be motivated to assist the teacher in the summer Computer Boot Camp because of the expense free trip to MECA.
E: The teacher will provide students with a strong foundation in multimedia principles and software features.
The student will have learned the advanced multimedia applications in order to create properly designed multimedia presentations.
R: The teacher will observe and encourage students to be creative in their design choices.
The student will be encouraged to utilize multimedia applications in order to create properly designed documents.
E: The teacher will provide a detailed rubric in order for students to fully understand expectations of the project.
The student will be encouraged to refer to the rubric and provide frequent self-assessments.
T: The teacher will provide an opportunity for students to make suggestions and will be flexible on selection of artifacts and design of portfolio.
The student will be encouraged to brainstorm on artifacts to use, design of portfolio, etc.
O: The teacher will provide information in a linear format by providing more guided instruction at the beginning of the project and then gradually releasing the students and encouraging them to work independently.
The student will create the portfolio by using appropriate artifacts, design, media and software features.
Differentiation:
·  High performing students will be seated next to low performing students and encouraged to provide assistance if needed.
·  Special needs students will design a portfolio based on their IEP. Portfolios may contain samples of work pulled together in a notebook or scrapbook.
·  Students with different learning styles can create eportfolios with artifacts and art, music, and media that supports their learning styles.
·  Advanced students will include extra artifacts to support career readiness and college readiness.
