Assignments and Assessment
__**Assignment 1:** Portfolio__ Using the template provided to you in [|Livetext], create a portfolio of all your projects and lesson plans. This activity will help all certification majors prepare for their professional portfolio that is required by OSU's College of Education. Non-certification majors such as athletic traning and health promotion majors are not required to purchase Livetext and can create their final portfolio in [|Wiki].

__Part 1__ For your final exam, you will draw on what you have learned throughout this semester to respond to the following questions. Each question will present one of the five NETS-T standards. Each of the five NETS-T standards has four substandards (a through d).
 * Assignment 2:** Final Exam/Reflection

For each exam question, you will select two of the substandards for that NETS-T Standard and provide a clear and detailed description and example of how you would represent the sub-standard in your own teaching. For example, for NETS-T Standard 1, you might choose to provide an example for sub-standard A and an example for sub-standard C. Be sure to provide a separate description and example for each sub-standard separately, clearly labeling the sub-standard you chose.

Each of the five NETS-T standard questions is worth 20 points each (8 points for each substandard).

__Part 2__ This part of the final exam is for you to reflect on your [|initial definition] and uses of educational technology that you submitted during Week 1. Write about what technologies are going to be most appropriate in your future classroom and why.

Part 2 of the final exam is worth 20 points.
