My name is Kelly Daugherty and I am a high school
teacher at Independence High School in San Jose.
My web site is http//da My e-mail is
daughertyk_at_exchange.esuhsd.org This project will
allow high school students to go on my web page
and visualize basic self defense moves. It can be
used when a student is absent from class or as a
technology teaching tool.

  work

Shortcomings

• There were not enough computers for the students
• The classroom I teach in does not have an
  internet connection

Student Data
The students improved in their post tests and the
average of their projects. There were a few
students that did not improve. These students
either did not complete the assignments or their
attendance was poor.

Revisions
After reviewing the data, I noticed that the
rubric I had made for the project needed
revision. The students did not do as well as
expected on the project.
I revised the rubric. I also changed some text
in the web site and revised the pre/post test.

Summary
This project helped me see how using technology
could enhance the learning of even young
children. There are many different types of
technology, and finding the right one for your
age student is not always easy. The Internet may
NOT be the best technology for your age student
and you need to look at all types. You need to
know your audience.

Taking a standard and creating a lesson around it
is a skill that more people need to explore. I
hope to be able to use the lessons that others
have created in this project as time progresses.
I have learned a lot from this project. I hope
to use some of the skills I have learned to
educate others.
