After
reading the article “National Education Technology Standards (NETS-T) and
performance Indicators for Teachers, I have found that the standard I feel stronger
in is promoting and modeling digital citizenship and responsibility. This
standard explains how teachers have knowledge of the growth of technology and
that there are rules, regulations, and standards to follow. It is the teacher’s
responsibility to model and promote legal and ethical behaviors by themselves
being cautious of how they use technology and sharing that with the students.
For example now a day there is Facebook which is a social network that mostly
everyone has, so as teachers we should be careful and aware of the things we
post and comment on because anybody can see our status. As teachers we should
be teaching safe, ethical, respectful technological practices to our students
that way they too can be careful to know what it correct to post and what
should be just kept to themselves. Most of all we should be teaching
responsibility and respect when it comes to using and managing technology.
I think that
now as a student I have followed rules, regulations and guidelines when it
comes to using technology, not just in school but in my own personal computer
at home. I am very cautious as to whom I have as friends, whom I respond to,
and how, the language I use, and the pictures I post in my Facebook account. If
you were to see my page you will see that I don’t have that many friends and
the reason is that there are people I rather just send an email too instead of
having them in my Facebook account snooping around in my personal life. I
believe there are social networks which you can use to share personal
information with people you truly trust and then there are those networks were
you just talk with whomever you want to without sharing too much.
I think that
as a teacher I will continue to model ethical and moral behavior when it comes
to using technology and teaching my students. I will try my best to teach my
students about copyrights, referencing, and being careful when searching,
because if they don’t know how to use those techniques they can end up in
trouble or they might get a bad grade. I believe that for now I have been a
good role model and will continue to be especially when I have students
overlooking everything I do.
The Verizon
Foundation
ISTE partnered with The Verizon Foundation in supporting
mobile learning initiatives across the United States. There are about 24n schools that part of this program
called Verizon Innovative Learning Program or VILS for short. The way that ISTE
supports this program is by providing services lie program evaluation, needs assessment,
and personal development. The VILS program was design primarily to increase
effectiveness and use of student success with use of mobile technologies and
engagement. Most of the services are provided onsite or online. Below I have attached the link to their web page.
The Maryland
Public Television
The Maryland
Public Television in partners with ISTE contribute to Mathlanding.org which is
a program which there is live online professional learning for teachers and
students that apply to the common core state standards through the NETS.
Mathlanding.org has tools and resources available to teachers to use to in
order to teach math in different ways in order to meet children’s needs. Below I have attached the link to their web page.
Both of these partners with ISTE meet the standards and help
promote the use of them as well by providing schools and teachers with the resources
necessary to follow the ISTE standards.
