Out of all the readings, tests and videos my favorite one was "Did you know?" The information and music was so intense and interesting to read. I really think that I am going to use that clip for a lesson plan to show how important technology, reading, writing and education is for my students to be successful in the future. I can not imagine all of those statistics coming true in the future. Information and technology are circulating and progressing so fast. It is our responsibility to prepare our students for these changes.
I really enjoyed taking the UNI technology competency tests. I think that it is good to know where we stand, as teachers, with our skills and the technology in our classrooms. Now that I know what I am capable of and what I need to work on, it will only sets me in the right direction to be an even better teacher who has more skills to improve my classroom learning environment.
It is really important that all teachers are familiar with and use the NET standards in their classrooms. I think that it is true that education is moving more towards classrooms that are technologically driven. With that said, teachers need to start educating themselves to be able to keep up with the fast pass speed of technology because their students will be learning these skills at a young age and we have to keep up with them so that we can harness their skills to work for them in their educational experience. I think we should use these NET standards along with our State Core Curriculum standards and objectives in my personal opinion.
