ISTE

Our introduction and video as well as the Google Groups activity show a good use of digital tools to collaborate with students, parents, and the community. When doing Technology at a football game, we were finding and using digital tools to support student success and innovation.(3b)
While completing the Going Green project we were exploring real world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.(1b)
When researching Meta-Search Engines, and doing research through the library site to answer current event questions, we were reflecting on current research on a regular basis to make effective use of existing digital tools. Answering the questions on Anger Stress with videos and current medical updates and using Web 2.0 tools let us evaluate current research and professional practice with emerging digital resources in support of student learning.

Covering the Tools in chapter three of the textbook let us participate in local learning communities to explore creative applications of technology.(5a)
We adapted relevant learning experiences and used digital tools and resources when we explored Technology in Education.The Cramberry website was a very good source of teaching techniques along with Rubistar. They will help us to become better teachers in the future.(2a)
The concept map we created was not only fun but I have had occasion to use the site several more times over the semester in other classes. I am really glad this site was introduced to us. It helps promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and creating.(1a)
We modeled an example of promoting digital etiquette and responsible social interactions when we explored the ACU iPhone Video.(4c)
We were definitely using collaborative tools to reveal conceptual thinking and the creative processes when we wrote and put on video our own short children stories.(1c)
The site called Second Life was an exercise in futility and not a good or safe thing for children in my opinion. We did model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with others in face-to-face and virtual environments. (1d)
While learning Adaptive Technologies, we customized learning activities to address students' disabilities using digital tools. (2c)
We studied videos on Sexting, PBS Videos, and MI tests which allowed us to show effective use of emerging digital tools to locate, analyze and evaluate information resources. These sites allowed us to teach safe, legal, and ethical matters on the digital highway too. (3d, 4a)
Our actual web page and the blog itself gave us a way to interact with our students, parents, and friends without endangering any of our students privacy. They are excellent ways to transmit information to everyone using digital-age media. (3c)
The last point I want to make is that this activity of assigning which standard fits what activity is interesting but a little confusing to those of us that have only just began using standards. This activity allowed us to use varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards. (2d)
