Standard 1 Description
In Technology Standard I, //Information Access, Evaluation, Processing and Application//, teacher candidates will access, evaluate, process and apply information efficiently and effectively. You will create an electronic research product for an intended audience using a variety of online resources related to a specific content question or problem. Follow the steps outlined below to complete this assessment task. Instructors will examine the task product in terms of four proficiency indicators:
 * 1) Familiarize yourself with the //Scoring Tool for Evaluating Technology Standard I: Information Access, Evaluation, Processing and Application//. Use this tool to guide you when completing this assessment task.
 * 2) Select a problem or research question to be investigated.
 * 3) Select the intended audience (e.g., college instructor, peers, K-12 students).
 * 4) Develop plan for gathering information electronically.
 * 5) Use key words to guide an Internet search and/or other electronic searches to collect information.
 * 6) Evaluate information sources (e.g., web sites) to determine whether to use each. Your instructor may assign you to use the //Web Site Evaluation Guide for Technology Standard I: Information Access, Evaluation, Processing and Application// provided.
 * 7) Maintain a log of sources investigated. A sample //Search Log Form for Technology Standard I: Information Access, Evaluation, Processing and Application// is provided.
 * 8) Using the information collected, develop an electronic product (e.g., web page, PowerPoint presentation) presenting the research question, findings and conclusion. Cite all references appropriately.
 * 9) Upon completion of these activities submit:
 * Completed electronic product
 * Search log
 * 1) Identify, locate, retrieve and differentiate among a variety of electronic sources of information using technology.
 * 2) Evaluate information critically and competently for a specific purpose.

** Reflection: **

After completing this assignment, I was able to see the importance of being effective with research. My standard I topic was on whether or not students should use cell phones in the school. After conducting my research I saw that the cons to allowing cell phones in school were much higher than the pro's.
