Creating NETS-T goals has focused my attention on technology and its integration into the educational environment. I have learned about the importance of digital citizenship. Not only do I need to teach the process, but model the behavior. I have not taken the time to modify my "notes", but I am being very conscientious about referencing current work. As far as teaching the process, I have sample lessons from Reading the Web. I also like the idea of showing students what the consequences are of copyright infringement.
Feedback from my classmates has introduced me to new technologies such as wix and Ning. I have been re-acquainted with Google and its many uses such as Sites and Docs. I am still in the process of creating a website from Google and wix for communication purposes to my students and parents. Technology is an on-going learning endeavor. It is impossible for me to learn every technology, or even know of every technology available.
While the two goals I have (Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility) will be time consuming, I would like to also include facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. Once the integration of the website is implemented I feel that including online collaboration will be the next step.

Teresa,
ReplyDeleteModeling the behavior will always benefit the students we interact with although it might take a little more effort. I have a similar goal with helping my students to recognize that they have a responsibility when it comes to using sources whether from the internet or print material. I have found some resources that my district has available so I am happy about that.
Wow i had never heard of Wix and Ning before! Thanks for sharing! I have used Google Docs for quite a while and since they recently added the ability to use microsoft products it has become even more useful.
