After viewing many of the technology standards, I feel as if I could teach about the LAFS.910.W.2.6 standard. It is about teaching students the key board and how to use some software applications like Microsoft word. It also includes navigating site such as Skype and creating online blogs. I already have a good knowledge on these items. I also have many years of experience using all of these applications. So if I had to teach it, I feel my knowledge of the content would help me be able to teach it effectively. From looking over the other standards I feel that I would need more knowledge in post and artifact creators. I do not feel as if my knowledge on these would be good enough to teach others how to use it. I would want to be able to answer questions about it and with those I feel I could not do that. From the CPALMS website there are a lot of good material and lessons. From the tool kit I liked SS.912.A.1.2. This is about Primary and Secondary sources. These types of sour...

     All the way up to college Microsoft Word has been the go to when it comes to writing papers. I have always used it and have become quite familiar with it. I loved it when I was younger because I did not have to write my essays and papers by hand. It also kept my papers nice and clean. With that I have mainly only used the application for papers and such. But I have also used it for creating resumes and charts. Though I rarely use it for those tasks, the application is very convenient. With my teachers using the application, I have only really noticed them using it to give us notes or use it to lectures. I have rarely ever seen teachers use it to write papers because I have always been the one having to write the assignment and turn it in to them.      I have received many lectures from teachers about copyright and plagiarism. From the student side I have never broke any rules in disobeying the laws and standards set for them. I have always been warned...

     Technology is on the rise & works great in classrooms. It is commonly used not only by teachers but used by students as well. I think the part is how hands on they are is a good influence. Since most students do not stay in engaged with chalk board lectures the technology can throw a twist on it. It can make learning fun & can also keep the attention of the students better. Also, most students want the ability to use the technology & get a hang of it. That is a way that keeps the students desire to learn. Even the immediate results can be a strong influence. Students can take a test & see the grade right when they submit it. Most students, including myself love that feature of it. It also takes the burden of the teacher going through & grading each test individually or having to bring the scan trons to be graded. Which can be an annoying process & can easily have mistakes.      ISTE has many standards for teachers and students....
