After looking at the standards that Dr. Smirnova linked to moodle I was able to obtain alot of information about the importance of incorporating them into our lessons as classroom teachers. The common trend with most of the standards was making sure that the students communicate with eachother and collaborate. When using the current vast amounts of technology; we as teachers need to make sure we give our students all the tools they need to succeed. We can do this through following these standards as closely as possible.
The one standard that I found to be the most important is #1 Creativity and Innovation. From my own experience in this class, the one thing that makes the use of all this technology fun is making it creative. There are so many webistes and tools to use to create/enhance our blogs, wiki's, presentations etc. I believe young children in particular have wonderful imaginations and can use their higher order thinking to develop new and exciting creations.
My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!
The Way of the Future
We are the 21st Century Teachers
