Prompt #4

Prompt #4: Review the ISTE Standards for Teachers and discuss how you plan to integrate technology in your classroom in order to enhance the teaching and learning process and achieve the five educational standards identified by ISTE for teachers.

I plan to use technology in my classroom when students are researching information. I also plan on using technology when I am teaching my students new information whether it be history, spelling, math, or science. I think it is important to use technology during math because then you are not just doing math problems on the board. Using technology for math forces you to do something different that the normal instruction out of a math book. The computer has different sources that can make things easier for children to understand. An example of this is atoms because there are so many websites that have models of atoms that break it down and make ite easier for student's to learn. I think technology will help with promoting citizenship and responsibility because you can easily find different resources to show students how other people live. There are also many different ways you can use digital tools to assess students while having students assess themselves. Having check points on power points would help students manage where they are supposed to be at and seeing if they comprehend the information.
