Week Four Discussion One

Technology Standards Self-Assessment

I found two .pdf files on the ISTE website:

1. https://www.iste.org/docs/pdfs/20-14_ISTE_Standards-T_PDF.pdf

2. http://www.iste.org/docs/pdfs/nets_for_teachers_2000.pdf

However, the second file actually says "NETS" in it, so I am basing my response on that one instead of the first one.

I have achieved the following NETS-T standards:

1A, 1B, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C, 5A, 5C, 5D, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E

I still need to achieve the following standards:

2B, 2E, 3A, 3D, 5B, 6A

My long-term plan for achieving all of these standards is to do research on the technology and resources that really are available to me on my own (and frequently) instead of only relying on my district and/or administration to provide me with information and training. Communication is not very strong between my site and the district, especially in regard to technological advances and training, so I will be more proactive as I work and plan in order to effectively and efficiently incorporate all technological possibilities into my content area. My content area uses a lot of technology already (we kind of have to in order to effectively assess expressive production of the language), but I do not delve much into ethical practices or safety in addition to research and expansion of technology and so I will learn more about those in order to incorporate them into my daily lessons.
