Teachers and students using technology in the classroom is pivotal. As technology progresses, so does the classroom and the resources available. Teachers utilize these resources in order to make sure their students are learning as much as possible. Technology also helps make school a bit more fun for students.
The education standards provided by the ISTE are intriguing. Basically they want every teacher to be able to demonstrate leadership in a certain fashion. The standard that is meaningful to me is citizen because I believe that all teachers should be able to demonstrate that they are an outstanding citizen. The one i disagree with is designer and that is because not every teacher will need this ability and can base their practices off of others.
To be a digital native means to have been born in the age where electronics and digital devices are of second nature to us. I agree that this term is valid. The differences between a digital native and a digital immigrant is pretty obvious as there is a literacy boundary. My future students will be incredible digitally literate.
