Adam Meador
Introduction
My name is Adam Meador, and I am in the Master’s Degree program in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University. I began the program in the summer of 2014 and will graduate in the spring of 2016. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2002 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Art/Art Education. The following school year, 2003-2004, I began teaching art at Buford Elementary School.
Four years into my career as the art teacher for Buford Elementary, I was offered the opportunity to work in a different capacity as the school’s technology teacher. Upon completion of the 2015-2016 school year, I will have taught for thirteen years. I am closing in on a decade of experience of being actively involved with technology at Buford Elementary.
I am fortunate because my administration annually allocates funds for me to attend the Georgia Educational Technology Conference. Around the time of GaETC 2012, Dr. Traci Redish conducted an Instructional Certification in Georgia session and she claimed that the state of Georgia was fifteen months away from completion of the GACE and GaPSC certificate for Instructional Technology. KSU’s sterling reputation and expedient development of a certificate backed Instructional Technology degree made it abundantly clear that it was my time to grow even more as an educator. The ITEC program has helped transform me into a more effective Instructional Technology leader. My ultimate goal is to become a more effective Instructional Technology professional and to better serve the stakeholders of Buford City Schools.
The purpose of this portfolio is to demonstrate mastery of the PSC Instructional Technology standards and the ISTE NETS-C standards. As you can see, there are a series of links below the KSU logo that you can visit. Of particular importance is the "standards" link. Under this link, you will see a series of artifacts and reflections documenting the important work I have completed during this program. Each artifact represents mastery of the standard under which it is represented.
