Module1+reflection

==//Reflection Prompt: How has your knowledge of technology standards changed after this module? Reflect on your own use of technology standards in your classroom and personal use. //==

Description:
I read about the ISTE.T, ISTE.S and TF technology standards in the booklet, book and materials. Also, after sharing our thoughts in discussion board about these technology standards, I will talk about their impacts on me after getting to know them.

Impact:
Actually, my knowledge on the teachers’ technology standards was very little that limited to using the technology to facilitate the information and making the lesson effective as I have thought. Also, doing group working but is not as one of the standards. It is just like as I have thought one of the features that the typical teacher has. I have thought the teacher has the right to do these things or not it is like something depending on her/him. For the students and technology facilitator standards, I have never heard about them.

After reading the booklet and the book, I couldn’t imagine how I was teaching before. These technology standards opened my eyes on my mistake that it reminded me to a situation that teachers and I were blaming some students for their laziness. Now, I strongly acknowledge that the problem is not in the students but actually we are the problem. We didn’t try to attract the students to learn, and also we didn’t bother ourselves to know what is the typical way that meets the students’ needs to motivate them to learn.

These standards showed me how the learning environment should be look like. Also, it gave me some ideas how can I integrate the technology effectively in the class without referring to the kind of the technology that I should use.

Reading technology operations and concepts, it made me focus on some points that we should understand the technology deeply and know how to use the technology tools as TF/TL to assist the teachers or ourselves as teachers.

Intent:
First thing I will do is following these standards. I will try to figure out the problem if I face it and change my teaching way according to meet my students’ needs. I will think for the students to help them not thinking about them and blame them for my fault. I plan to learn more about the technology tools and try to integrate more different technology in my class to meet the different students’ learning styles. Also, I will work to create effective learning environment for the students. As TF I will assist the other teachers in integrating the technology in their class and encourage them to do it.
