I am doing my observations at Western High School and Novi Meadows. || **7. TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS ** Use of technological tools, operations, and concepts to enhance learning,  personal/professional productivity, and communication, including the ability to:  a.

Successfully complete and reflect upon collaborative online learning  experiences;  c. Demonstrate an understanding of and the ability to create an online learning  experience, and demonstrate continued growth in knowledge of technology  operations, resource evaluation for quality, objectivity, and reliability and  concepts including strategies for teaching and learning in an online  environment;  d.

 * Word || Definition || Example ||
 * PSMT
 * Conceptual Change || This is a type of learning where the person's existing belief, idea or way of thinking is changed. Someone's beliefs are changed and therefore their frame of reference, how they solve problems and how they explain phenomena is changed along with that belief. It involves discovering a students preconceptions about a topic and using different techniques to help them change their conceptual framework. || A student has not learned the basic grammar rules and when they attempt to explain them to a group of people. Once they have learned the various grammar rules, it changes the way they write and improves their writing skills. ||
 * TPCK || Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge is the understanding of technology and teaching in the classroom. The three major parts are content, pedagogy and technology. The idea is that teaching with technology requires a good understanding of both content and pedagogy. This is used to make sure that technology in the classroom has a context and has guidelines. || TPCK ||
 * Web 2.0 || It is the term used to describe the web application that allows users to share information, interoperability, design a user center, and collaborate on the worldwide web. It allows people to interact on a social web. This term is also connected to Tim O'Reilly because of the conference in 2004. || Facebook, wiki, blogs and myspace. ||
 * NEO #2 || This is a special typing tool for students with written output disorders. It has a small screen that is useful for typing if that is the only objective. This is great for students who have trouble writing, but need to take notes in class, or are writing a paper. It has a built in thesaurus, dictionary, cut, copy and paste. This helps a student become independent and excited to learn because it helps them move on from their disability. || NEO2 ||
