Welcome to my Dreamweaver Web site for Education 310: Multimedia Design. On this site you'll be able to find my presentations, which meet with the current Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards, and review some of my reflections to my overall lesson plan. My overall goal is to create a lesson plan that meets the INTASC standards, requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for a beginning teacher.
Through the use of multimedia design I believe that i have achieved my own expectations as well as the ones that were set for the class. If you need help or have any questions, please contact me via email by clicking here.
