Day 4 [1/28/10]

On day four, Denise had us join a facebook group so that we can all communicate through it. This group allows us to discuss different situations that deals with digital learning. The ISTE NETS standard that I believe goes well this this task is 1c. [ 1.Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity - c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. ] This is relevant because we are inspring students to be creative on a well-known site, facebook, that they use everyday. Not only will they go on this website now to chat with friends, but they will be able to reflect upon different postings and comments that deal with the digital age of technology. I believe that this is a great way of teaching students to be creative and outspoken about learning using their everyday digital devices.

Day 3 [1/26/10]

On day three, Denise had us add the website link Classroom 2.0 to our blogs. This website helps us to interact with other teachers that are in our field and who can give us advice or teach us a thing or two. This site lets teachers from all over the world communicate ideas and lesson plans to one another in a virtual environment. The ISTE NETS standard that I feel represents the lesson today is 1d. [ 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity - d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.] By teachers viewing and using sites like these, the students will look up to a teacher and do the same. The students would then use sites like these to collaborate their own thoughts with fellow classmates and other elementary students throughout the world.

Day 2 [1/21/19]

On day two of class, Denise had us look through resume outlines and create our own. This task helped up to ready ourselves for our professional jobs once we are ready to head out to the real world. I believe that the ISTE NETS standard that best fits this situation would be 5c. [5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership - c. evaluates and reflects on current research and professional practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources in support of student learning.] This is because we are preparing ourselves for our profession of the future. This is also helping us in growth as individuals. Also, leadership is another tool that we as teachers need to have. We also need to prove to our future employers that we as individuals understand the digital tools and resources; especially with the fast growing amount of technology in today’s society.

Day 1 [1/19/10]

On day one Denise had us all get out our cell phones. Most teachers absolutley hate when students have their cell phones out. The task she had us do was text adjectives to a web site describing what we knew about California. Denise then made a wordle of all the words we thuoght described California. I feel that the ISTE NETS standard for this activity was 3b. [3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning - b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.] This is because we were using Digital-Age devices, and communicating with other students, peers, and even members of another community. This was actually a great activity to show how the technology world works. One can communicate with students of all ages all across the world.
