Day 7 [2/9/10]

Today class was cancelled. However, our blogging assignment for today is to explain a time within my K-16 school experience that has helped me meet one of the ISTE-NETS standards. When I was in the 7th grade, I had a library teacher named Mrs. Evans. She was one of my favorite teachers (she loved me too!). She showed us a futuristic film strip every class about people who lived in an old library that was hidden underground from the intruders that invaded earth. (The film was a little lame but it got the point across) It showed us how to find information correctly in a library. She also gave us worksheets that made us use the information that we learned to help us find the answers. This was a great class to have because it also helped us to use this knowledge later down the road for researching purposes. The ISTE-NETS standard that I feel this experience helped me with is 3b. (3. Research and Information Fluency - Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.) This standard goes well because it helped with research information not only in the library, but with digital tools as well.
