UCET 2021

Pre-service teachers from University of Maine Farmington will share their research, ideas, and prototypes of how technology can support learning in middle/secondary English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. They have designed a unit in their content area using the Understanding by Design model. The performance task of the unit gives the learners an opportunity to demonstrate their understandings in a real-world context utilizing technology in a transformative way. These future teachers will share an overview of their unit as well as prototypes of their unit performance task and two other technology-based assessments. This is an opportunity to see a variety of web-based technologies and how they can be used for summative and formative assessment. We have two presentation time slots; half the students will present at this one, the other half at the other time slot, so content is different at each. There is no sequence to the two presentations; participants at either presentation will have access to the documentation for all of the students’ units in both presentations.
