I. Technology Operations and Concepts.
Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concepts.
A. Demonstrate introductory knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE National Education Technology Standards for Students).
This reflection on my first information technology class provides a snapshot of my early vision of technology and education.
B. Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies
The rapid advancement of technology in Michigan Public Schools is catching many educators off guard. Many new teaching tools and concepts have been created to enhance the education of our students. It can be hard to keep up with these evolving trends. I have made it one of my personal goals to keep up with the trends. I am a member the School Improvement Network and ISTE Wikispaces. This network of educators collaborate to stay abreast of the current technologies in education.
This presentation on Virtual Schools is one way of "staying ahead of the curve".
I also created an instrctional video on saving a file in (RTF) Rich Text format.
