ITEC 7430 introduced me to methods and strategies that support the effective use of internet integration in the classroom. Through this class I was challenged to analyze deeply the ISTE standards for students and apply them to instructional practice, while meshing them with my standards-based curriculum. I was guided through instructional methods and models that demonstrated how to use the internet sites in an educational setting.
Through instruction, research, and collaboration, I was introduced to a variety of researched-based, student-centered, real-world authentic tools and resources that addressed the implementation of technology-rich learning experiences. Internet tool for the classroom provided me opportunities to help my students evaluate, analyze, communicate and locate resources to reinforce higher-order thinking skills.
Through this class I have grown as a leader in technology integration. I understand the importance of teaching students how to be responsible digital citizens and how to use the internet safely. I have been given tools to easily incorporate technology into my instruction while being mindful of student choice and voice and differentiation. Although I have grown and have been filled with more knowledge, I know my learning does not end here. I will continue learning and keep myself abreast on new and current technologies and researched-based best practices.
