Day 8 [1/11/10]

Once again, class was cancelled today. Today's blog assignment is to write about an out-of-school experience that helped us learn the ISTE-NETS standards. I think that having a facebook and a myspace helped me to better keep in contact with people. It is a great way to keep in the digital world and to connect with old friends, new friends, best friends, and even the people you meet by using facebook or myspace. The ISTE-NETS standard that I think goes well with this out-of-school experience is 2a. ( 2. Communication and Collaboration - Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. ) This is because this helps people keep in touch with people at a distance as well as in the same area. Not only are people communicating through this, but people also collaborate ideas and suggestions.
