NETS-T I &4I chose to research more on the NETS-T module: Design and Develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. After taking the quiz, I realized that I might need more help in this area. I know a little about technology, but probably not enough at the moment to use technology to its fullest in the classroom. I can see how technology can be useful in the classroom. So many young students today have cell phones, iphones, ipods, games I don’t even know the name of, that could possibly make learning more engaging and fun. If teachers can find ways to incorporate what technologies their students know/have, it could be a beneficial way of learning.
I found a couple links to be very beneficial for teachers and students. The first site that I really like was a technology toolkit found here. This site offers tools for teachers as well as students. Some things students could benefit from this site is the study skills section or the research tool area. These links help students to be better organized, to study online using flashcards, or to use a study games website. They also help students to learn how to document research or use different search tools. A good site for teachers on how to incorporate technology was the site here. This site offers practice guides or ideas on how to incorporate technology into lessons.
Technology can be very helpful in providing students with more opportunities to learn. It is important for teachers to try their best to use different methods of teaching and to incorporate technology into the classroom.
