Standard 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and
Creativity
1.
Promote, support, and model creative and
innovative thinking and inventiveness. I would use technology for creative and innovative thinking by
having the students use Pixie to create stories and charts and using the
internet to search for ideas.
2.
Engage students in exploring real-world issues
and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. In some of my lessons I used online games from
educational resources such as abcya.org to engage the students in real-world
issues and problem solving. I also would have them research current events
online to learn about real-world issues.
3.
Promote student reflection using collaborative
tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking,
planning, and creative processes. In my lessons I used quick writes for reflection. Using technology
I would have my students create a blog online or do a video blog on the iPads.
I would also have them use MindMup or other mind maps to plan projects.
4.
Model collaborative knowledge construction by
engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and
virtual environments. I
would model collaborative knowledge construction by teaching the students to
use technology such as Prezi and MindMup to learn together and create projects
even if they are not face to face.
Standard 2: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning
Experiences and Assessments
1.
Design or adapt relevant learning experiences
that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and
creativity. I used various online
games and manipulatives in my lessons to promote learning and creativity. One way
that I could have used technology to promote learning and creativity was to
allow students to create more final projects or presentations using Prezi or
Pixie.
2.
Develop technology-enriched learning
environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities
and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing
their own learning, and assessing their own progress. I would develop a technology-enriched
environment by making sure they have access to iPads and computers as much as
possible. I would also make sure that during centers and other hands on
learning activities they would have access to the smart board to do learning
activities and ways to pursue their curiosity. I would also have the students
do their AR testing on the iPads so that they can keep track of their progress
and always have access to it.
3.
Customize and personalize learning activities to
address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities
using digital tools and resources. The nice thing about using technology is it is very easy to change
the levels to fit the diverse leaning needs. With technology you also are able
to cater to visual, auditory and hands-on learners. Technology opens up the
world so much wider to students because they can research and learn more then
what is just in their community.
4.
Provide students with multiple and varied
formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards
and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. I would use technology to allow students to
take tests online, write blogs about what they were learning, and creating
video blogs or short films on what they are learning. Then I would take this
information to determine what we still need to focus our attention on.
Standard 3: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
1.
Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and
the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. We used technology to take situations and apply
them in a different way. For example in our erosion lesson we showed them
erosion in an online simulation and then we actually did an experiment to show
it in real life.
2.
Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and
community members using digital tools and resources to support student success
and innovation. I would use academic
learning sites such as Brain Pop and abcya.com. I would also use online blogs
that multiple students would have access to, online mind maps and Prezi for
presentations.
3.
Communicate relevant information and ideas
effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age
media and formats. Ways that I would
communicate relevant information would be weekly emails home and a class
website or blog that would be updated as frequently as needed.
4.
model and facilitate effective use of current
and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information
resources to support research and learning. I would make sure that I follow the trends and see what new
technology is being used in classroom settings. I would then use this new
technology in my classroom to help my students’ research and learn on their
own.
Standard 4: Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and
Responsibility
1.
Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and
ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for
copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. The biggest thing that I would do is start off
the class with responsibility on the internet. We would do a project similar to
the one we did in this class where we researched what digital citizenship meant
and how to be safe on the internet.
2.
Address the diverse needs of all learners by
using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate
digital tools and resources. I would make sure that my students all had the same access to the
different types of technology (computer, iPad, smart board) but make sure that
if a student had trouble reading for example the technology would read to the
student and help them learn the words.
3.
Promote and model digital etiquette and
responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and
information. I would make sure that
our first focus would be that of being kind on the internet just like we are in
class. For example we do not make fun of people or bully them online just because
they can’t see us. We would also talk about how it is very important not to
post personal information online because anyone could have access to it.
4.
Develop and model cultural understanding and
global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures
using digital-age communication and collaboration tools. We would research other cultures and see how
they use technology and how it is different from the way we use technology. We
would have digital pen-pals and learn more about them that way.
