After I read the ISTE and NETS.T and Performance Indicators for Teachers, I decided to work on the following standards and indicators, which are:
1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and creativity.
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiencing and Assessments
a. desigh or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
Goal – My goal is to have my students explore real-world issues and solve real-world problems that are relevant to their lives using digital tools and resources. I will also design lessons that address students’ diverse learning styles using digital tools and resources.
Action – I will design my lessons and units according to the ISTE and NETS.T and incorporate digital tools . To do this I will keep my awareness about technology tools updated to strengthen my confidence and become proficient in integrating technology into the curriculum.
Monitor - I will monitor my goal through my students’ progress.
Evaluate – At the end of each lesson, I will look for the weaknesses and the strengths of the lesson and improve the weak areas.

Howayda,
ReplyDeleteYou have a good idea to have your students explore real world issues and be able to solve them. This will help prepare them for their future when they enter the work force.
Do you have good technology support in your school district to keep you up-to-date on the latest technology and training on how to utilize it in the classroom? My district frequently offers in-service training to show and train us. We also have technology coaches that come into the schools to model lessons with our students. This seems to be a big help. I'm sure this has had a significant impact on teacher's in my district.

I think that the best way for students to learn and understand the information that you are trying to teach them is to make it relate to them in the real world. What subject/grade level do you teach? I'm interested to see what you do.
