Technology Self-Assessment: School 2.0

Nets-T Standard: # 3 Model Digital Age Work and Learning

Using the resource, “5 Steps to Using a Teacher’s Blog,” I have learned that technology is a tool we, as teachers, can use in the work field collaboratively to form differing ideas and curriculums for our students. It’s important that we share information and come together as a district because technology can be useful but if we don’t all use it in the same way; we each will learn at a different level and pace.

Teachers fear using technology because in this day and age; students and children were born in the era where they must learn quickly and at a younger age then most of the present teachers. As time goes on, it will be integrated for all teachers to effectively use but for those out there who are unsure of how to use it; blogging helps bring the community of teachers together to interact while also using technology effectively.  We need to come together as a whole and understand the various techniques and learning styles that computers as well as all other forms of technology offers us.

The more we are able to share information; the less afraid we become. This will help teachers smoothly transition into the technologic era and be able to properly educate students of what is necessary in their lives.
