Looking at the standards in class helped me understand them some more. I feel that we sometimes look at technology as using it in the classroom, but that we should use it more incorporated into our lessons and activities. I also feel that it is important to remember that we need teachers to try to learn and adapt new technologies into the classroom so that we can set up students for success. I feel that even though these technologies are out teachers are still very important in the process. I particular enjoy using technologies in the classroom, but fine my troubles to be how to use them in my lessons. Some of my questions are: What standard would you consider if any for using book on tape, or songs related to lesson? These are some things that I do use in the classroom but am not sure what standard they fall under. I would also like to get some more ideas so if anyone as some really good sites that have lessons with incorporated technology standards, I would like to explore them.
It is good to hear you are so interested in using technologies with your lessons. I am sure as a teacher you will find many useful technologies to use in your classroom. As far as standards, have you looked at the ISTE standards? The new ones online are very useful and maybe would help you figuring out what the standards may be.
ReplyDeleteI also think that technology is great, but teachers are extremely important to the teaching process. A teacher who can use technology in the classroom should also be able to teach without technology.
