Module+1+Reflection

//Reflection Prompt: How has your knowledge of technology standards changed after this module? Reflect on your own use of technology standards in your classroom and personal use.//
**__Description:__** Read the National Educational Technology Standards for students, teachers, administrators, and facilitators.


 * __Impact:__** I feel overwhelmed about what I have learned so far. I was practicing multiple standards without evening knowing they were standards, but I also was only practicing them at a beginning or developing level. There is a lot more I need to learn and do so I can teach at the transformative level. I also think there still are a lot of technologists, especially in the schools, that do not teach how to integrate the new technologies to the teachers. I see a lot of teachers that have the technology tools but do not know how to use them. I hope this changes.


 * __Intent:__** I intend to integrate the standards into my teaching more. I am now aware of what the standards are and I have a rubric that I can follow to evaluate myself in how effective my instruction is with the technology standards. I am going to expand my stock portfolio lesson to include standard 1c for my students.

// Overwhelmed is how many feel when looking at all these standards plus reg content standards, but we must realize that the tech standards should only support the content standards in reg classrooms. It can't be about using powerpoint, it can only be about using powerpoint to learn social studies or whatever the topic. It is good to find out you are already doing lots of this, now you can proceed with more intent! Great start! Dr. Ward //
