This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the bodyโs response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Becoming a Microsoft Certified Educator
Passing the Microsoft Certified Educator (MCE) exam demonstrates to parents,
administrators, and future employers that you have the skills needed to enhance
teaching and learning using the technology tools available to you. This guide explains
what the MCE exam is, what it measures, and how you can best prepare yourself to
pass this rigorous test.
What is the Microsoft Certified Educator Exam?
The Microsoft Certified Educator (MCE) exam is a valid and reliable assessment of the
competencies required to apply technology skills in the context of teaching and
learning. For education administrators, MCE represents a way to evaluate educator
readiness, and can help measure the effectiveness of professional development
engagements.
How will it benefit me?
Educators holding an MCE certification have the competencies needed to apply
technology skills to the teaching and learning process, creating a richer learning
experience for students, and saving precious time.
A certification that aligns to global educator standards can be a helpful differentiator,
whether you are looking for your first teaching position, interested in taking on a
leadership role in your school, or discussing your qualifications with parents.
What will the test cover?
The exam does not assess your ability to use specific tools, but addresses global
educator learning objectives that measure the ways ICT integration can be used to
improve outcomes in six core content areas that align to the UNESCO ICT-
Competency Framework for Educators, including:
โข Education Policy โข ICT/Technology Tools
โข Curriculum & Assessment โข Pedagogy
โข Professional Development โข Organization & Administration
Who should take the MCE Exam?
Candidates include individuals preparing to become classroom educators, current
educators, faculty of educator training colleges, and other professionals looking to
demonstrate that they have the skills needed to effectively integrate technology into
teaching and learning.

Get Going
1. Access the MCE study materials
two ways:
๏ท Microsoft IT Academy:
www.microsoft.com/itacademy
๏ท Microsoft Partners in Learning
Network: www.pil-network.com
2. Take a self-assessment to receive
your personalized learning plan
3. Study the courses indicated
4. Review the MCE Study Guide
5. When you are comfortable with the
MCE study materials, take the MCE
exam*
*Note: There is a cost for the MCE
exam, but ITA member schools
receive 10 free MCE exam vouchers,
so inquire with your school before
covering exam fees yourself.
How do I prepare?
Microsoft has created a comprehensive eLearning course, Teaching with
Technology (TwT), to help support you in your preparation.
TwT includes a self-assessment to help identify your learning gaps, eLearning
content to help you fill those gaps, summative assessments, and a range of learning
activities and tutorials to encourage application in the classroom with students.
The TwT course is focused not on measuring expertise with specific tools, but rather
on how to apply the right tools to a particular learning objective, or to increase
productivity. The TwT self-assessment and summative assessments are good
indicators of readiness. Most often, educators who pass the MCE exam have put
extensive time into considering the material and how it could be applied to a
number of different education contexts.
In addition to using the eLearning curriculum, you could attend a workshop, work
with a peer coach or mentor, or observe other educators who are particularly skilled
in this area.
Where can I access study material?
The TwT self-assessment, eLearning curriculum, summative assessment, and
associated tutorials and resources can be accessed free at http://www.pil-
network.com/pd/curriculum/twt.
If your school has an IT Academy membership, you can access the TwT eLearning
via the IT Academy site. IT Academy includes an online reporting system and
detailed tracking, letting administrators see how educators are progressing in their
learning. IT Academy is located at http://www.microsoft.com/itacademy.
How do I know if Iโm ready to take the exam?
The TwT self-assessment and summative assessments are good indicators of
readiness. Most often, educators who pass the MCE exam have put extensive time
into considering the material, and how it could be applied to a number of different
education contexts. Find out if youโre ready to take the exam by:
1. Taking a self-assessment to identify learning gaps
2. Studying TwT curriculum as needed
3. Taking a summative assessment
4. Applying what you learned
5. Reviewing the skills measured
What will the exam look like?
Each delivery of the exam will contain approximately 50 items. It will contain both
case study and multiple choice items. You should allow two hours to take the exam.
The case study exam format uses scenarios that simulate how educators might use
ICT resources as they prepare for and conduct their classes. Case studies may
contain separate sections (e.g., Learning and Teaching Environment, Student
Objectives, Professional Development Objectives). Candidates answer several
questions based on information provided in the case study.

Is any further assistance
available?
There is a TwT Facilitator Guide
available to help develop a plan to
support educators in their learning
journey. Online learning is most
effective when combined with face-
to-face instruction and
communities of practice.
Opportunities to practice newly
acquired skills with a coach or a
mentor will help embed new
learning. Download the facilitator
guide at
