BLENDING A WAY 2

Topic, Mission, and Vision

The topic ofedudigitalteacher.comsCapstone Project is to develop innovative methods

and pedagogy to integrate existing resources and technology to inspire and enhance learning in

the court school learning environment at the Bear Creek Academy in Merced Countys Iris

Garrett Juvenile Justice Complex.

Themission and visionstatements of edudigitalteacher.com are:

Mission Statement: To create and develop a digital learning environment for court school

classrooms. All students can learn and are entitled to access to similar resources in the process.

The plan is to develop a digital learning environment for working with the lowest achieving

students in the best situation and achieve positive results.

Vision Statement: To create a dynamic and effective digital learning environment using modern

instructional methods while utilizing technology. The intended outcome is to create a model that

other similar institutions could adapt to provide educational services to students attending court

schools. This project will be an on-going process of development that will continue long after

this graduate program is completed.

Scope and Scale

For the purpose of EDU699 the scope and scale of this Capstone Project will to create

and begin to use the first unit for Biology that will become the pilot model to complete the

remaining units in a Biology course, Earth and Physical Science, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra

courses over the next year. The remaining components of the long-term project include; on-

going development of these courses and acquisition and integration of more technology to create

a 1:1 digital learning environment.

BLENDING A WAY 3

Focus and Concept

To accomplish this mission and vision, the Capstone Project will incorporate a blended

learningpedagogy, using eitherGoogle SitesorCOURSEsites,which will become the platform

and existing traditional methods and resources to drive learning in science and math. Upon

successful completion, this project will become a model for other subject areas that can be used

in court school learning environments with progressive 21stcentury teachers and minimal

technology to integrate, innovate, and inspire learners. Ultimately, by using a blended learning

pedagogy and technology effectively, the teacher will be able to integrate, innovate, and inspire a

diverse group of students to achieve common core standards, pass state requirements exams, and

recover credits to increase graduation rates while allowing the teacher to monitor student

progress more efficiently.

Meeting Program Outcomes and Concentration Goals

This Capstone Project will meet the needs of the Post Universitys M.Ed. in Instructional

Design and Technology program by specifically addressing the following program outcomes and

concentration goals for Instructional Design and Technology:

Core Program Outcomes

Students will develop a vision for the future of education, a personal critical and creativeperspective on issues and changes in education, and several means to adapt to future

realities.

Students will develop expertise in designing and delivering instruction to support the

achievement of a diverse population of learners of all ages in a variety of settings (e.g.,

public education, private education, charter schools, corporations, elearning, et al.).

Students will be able to define, understand, analyze, and use metrics to measure student,programmatic, and institutional achievement.

Students will be able to identify and use current relevant technology in the service ofbetter learning.

Students will demonstrate an understanding of creativity and innovation as applied toeducation,

Students will develop and demonstrate leadership thinking in critical areas of interestwithin their field.

Concentration in Instructional Design & Technology

Students will be able to design and develop learning environments using models ofinstructional design, such as the ADDIE model.

Students will understand and be able to apply theories of design and instruction to thedevelopment, design, and implementation of educational experiences and events.

Students will be able to integrate appropriate technology in a diversity of educationalsettings, including schools, universities, corporations, non-profits and government

agencies.

In the process of completing this project beyond the scope and scale of this program, all

above mentioned program outcomes and concentration goals and others not mentioned will be

utilized as all the courses are developed and more technology becomes available to create a 1:1

digital learning environment over the next two years. This is not the end, only the beginning, of

the future for teaching and learning in court school educational settings.
