Student Name: Jean Kang Date: 6/12/2020 Artifact Description: Web Launchpad

Jean Kang created a web launchpad project for students to conveniently access multiple educational websites through a piano keyboard interface. Each key on the keyboard acts as a hyperlink to a different website for games, simulations, or practices related to subjects like chemistry, spelling, and more. Through this project, Jean learned how to embed hyperlinks in text and use grouping functions to organize the layout. The project addresses several National Educational Technology Standards for designing learner-driven activities, facilitating technology use to support learning, and modeling digital citizenship. Jean plans to apply this skills by embedding frequently used websites on a teaching website to benefit students and parents, especially those with special needs or who are less technology proficient.

Artifact Description: Web Launchpad

What you learned/overcame:

In this project, I set up a web launchpad for multiple websites that students can access

conveniently. These websites are for educational purposes, mostly as educational games,

chemistry simulations, spelling practices, etc. I used a piano keyboard as a frame, and each

key as one website. One octave offers 8 website links. Students can just click each key to

access their favorite games, simulations, or practices.

This project is relatively simple. I learned how to embed the hyperlink in texts. It is

worth to mention that Group is again a very useful function, that is available in both Power

Point and Word. If I did not group the black sharp keys, they tended to move all around the

page.

National Educational Technology Standards for Educators (NETS)•S Addressed:

http://www.iste.org/standards (Links to an external site.)

This project meets the following standards of NETS for an educator:

1. Learner. Educators continually improve their practice by learning from and with others

and exploring proven and promising practices that leverage technology to improve

student learning.

1a. Set professional learning goals to explore and apply pedagogical approaches made possible by

technology and reflect on their effectiveness.

1c. Stay current with research that supports improved student learning outcomes, including findings

from the learning sciences.

2. Leader. Educators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success

and to improve teaching and learning. Educators:

2a. Shape, advance and accelerate a shared vision for empowered learning with technology by

engaging with education stakeholders.

2b. Advocate for equitable access to educational technology, digital content and learning

opportunities to meet the diverse needs of all students.

2c. Model for colleagues the identification, exploration, evaluation, curation and adoption of new

digital resources and tools for learning.

3. Citizens. Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate

in the digital world. Educators:

3a. Create experiences for learners to make positive, socially responsible contributions

and exhibit empathetic behavior online that build relationships and community.

3b. Establish a learning culture that promotes curiosity and critical examination of online

resources and fosters digital literacy and media fluency.

3c. Mentor students in safe, legal and ethical practices with digital tools and

the protection of intellectual rights and property.

3d. Model and promote management of personal data and digital identity and protect

student data privacy.

5. Designer. Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize and

accommodate learner variability. Educators:

5a. Use technology to create, adapt and personalize learning experiences that foster independent

learning and accommodate learner differences and needs.

5b. Design authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools

and resources to maximize active, deep learning.

5c. Explore and apply instructional design principles to create innovative digital learning

environments that engage and support learning.

6. Facilitator. Educators facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of the ISTE

Standards for Students. Educators:

6a. Foster a culture where students take ownership of their learning goals and outcomes in

both independent and group settings.

6b. Manage the use of technology and student learning strategies in digital platforms, virtual

environments, hands-on makerspaces or in the field.

6c. Create learning opportunities that challenge students to use a design process and computational

thinking to innovate and solve problems.

6d. Model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge or

connections.

Application of Skills Learned for the Future:

This is a very useful project. I am in the process of building my website for students

and parents. I can embed the often-used websites for students. This creates fun, efficiency

and convenience for students and parents.

This project also fits the type of learners who learn through sensing and feeling. It

provides training to multiple intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner. It trains the bodily-

kinesthetic which is less touched by traditional teaching methods. It fits intuitive, sensing,

perceiving needs. It also provides learning convenience for students with special needs.

I will mainly use this for my teaching website. Both students and parents can

benefit. Especially for those parents who are ELL or less technology savvy. Students can use

this technique to create their project as well. They could make one document with all their

favorite websites embedded. Open the document and click the link whenever they need to

use it.
