This week I had to write an essay on the National Educational Technological Standards. These standards were just like any other topic in school. When I first read the standards, I had no idea what I was doing for this essay. But, after re-reading the standards and the essay one requirements it started to make sense.
The standard that I did not feel comfortable about was the second standard. The reason is because the technology that we are using in class is not the technology that I am use too. I mean i have an iPhone and I am pretty good with technology, but i am not good using windows or even a smartboard. But, luckily for me in our EDU 315 class we are doing a SmartBoard teaching lesson.
I have realized over the past few weeks that I should start using more and more technology more because if I become use to it and know how to work it, I can use it in my classroom to help expand my students knowledge. So, even if this involves staying after class just to use the smartboard for 5 minutes, at least I am getting practice. And like any sport, subject in school or anything you need to practice in order to master it.
These standards make a ton of sense and are easy to use and access. The technology standards are more concise rather than other standards such as history.
