ISTE Standards

Identify the benefits of technology to maximize student learning and facilitate higher order thinking skills.

An example of using technology to maximise student learning is making an educational power point for students to use. The following is an example of this: PowerPoint Instructional Presentation

Differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate uses of technology for teaching and learning while using electronic resources to design and implement learning activities.

An example of this is making a technological movie for kids to learn from. At the same time this technology is showing students the proper use of techonology. The following is an informational movie that I created: Kid Pix Informational Movie

Identify technology resources available in schools and analyze how accessibility to those resources affects planning for instruction.

One technological resource that I have encountered is Profiler. This program has helped in assessing what areas need to be addressed the most in the classroom. I found this resource to be an excellent site when researching what your class needs to work on and already knows. Here is the example of when I took a Profiler survey. This is how the results look as a diagram when compared to the rest of my class:

Identify specific technology applications and resources that maximize student learning, address learner needs and affirm diversity.

An example of a technology application that can maximise student learning is Microsoft Power Point. Students can also use this application to create presentations for almost any class. The students have options to make their presentation look anyway they would like. Here is another example of a Power Point assignment that I created with a group in one of my SPED classes: SPED Power Point

The following are the other ISTE standards that I have met by taking this class.

Identify, select and use hardware and software technology resources specifically designed for use by PK-12 students to meet specirice teaching and learning objectives.
Plan for management of electronic instructional resources within a lesson design by identifying potential problems and planning for solutions.
Identify specific technology applications and resources that maximize student learning, address learner needs and affirm diversity.
Design and teach technology-enriched learning activities that connect content standards with student technology standards and meet the diverse needs of students.
Design and peer teach a lesson that meets content area standards and reflects the current best practices in teaching and learning with technology.
Plan and teach student centered learning activities and lessons in which students apply technology tools and resources.
Research and evaluate the accuracy, relevance, appropriateness, comprehensiveness and bias of electronic infromation resources to be used by students.
Discuss technology-based assessment and evaluation strategies.
Examine multiple strategies for evaluating technology-based student products and the processes used to create those products.
Examine technology tools used to collect, analyze, interpret, rep;resent, and communicate student performance data.
Integrate technology-based assessment strategies and tools into plans for evaluating specific learning goals.
Develop a portfolio of technlogy-based products from coursework, including the related assessment tools.
Identify and engage in technology-based opportunities for professional education and lifelong learning, including the use of distance education.
Apply online and other technology resources to support problem solving and related decision making for maximizing student learning.
Participate in online professional collaboration with peers and experts.
Use technology productivity tools to complete required professional tasks.
Identify technology-related legal and ethical issues including copyright, privacy, and security of technology systems, data, and information.
Examine acceptable use policies for the use of technology in schools, including stratgies for addressing threats to security of technology systems, data and information.
Identify issues related to equitable access to technology in school, communit, and home environments.
Identify safety and health issues related to technology use in schools.
Identify and use assistive technologies to meet the special physical needs of students.
