The NETS for teachers is related to the NETS for students because if a teacher accomplishes their goals, students will have a better chance in developing proficiency in the technology standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S.
In my classroom, I plan to promote creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration, critical thinking, research, digital citizenship, and the use of new and improved technologies that will steer my students towards the 21st century. I will also stay abreast of the new technologies that are constantly changing the face of our classrooms. I think that’s important because our students must be ready to face the new challenges of the real world.
My experience of going over these NETS goals for teachers has opened my eyes to new ideas that I normally would not have thought of. I realized that I have to improve my knowledge and use of the many technology tools that are available. It helped me be more effective with technology resources that I already have, but not being used. NETS standards are good reminders for me and can be posted on a bulletin board or wall so that I can remember to use them. It is easy to fall back to traditional way of teaching in my school because that is all you see outside of the computer classes. So will I see if I can enlarge the NETS for teacher and students, and post them in my classroom.

Rodney,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that we have gained a lot of insight in teaching learning process with the NETS-T and NETS-S goals. With technology we are able to make learning fun and interesting for the students and discard the traditional teaching methods in our school
Rodney,
ReplyDeleteCould not agree with you more about starying on top of new technology. With this day and age we are trying to teach our students to be ready for the unknown. Everyday a new piece of technology is coming out that is becoming a key role in our society. By teaching them those critical thinking skills and technology skills they will be prepared for the technology to come as best as possible.

Looking through the NETS standards have really shown me ways to incorporate technology successfully in the classroom. It is hard to meet all of the standards but finding those that need to be met and working on them will make all of us better educators. Teaching your students those technology skills will only benefit them in the years to come!
