As I view the NET-S and the NET-T, in a way I see the similarities and in a way I see the differences. In the NET-S, it looks more like the standards we would expect to see. It is what the students should be expected to know/do after the lesson is taught. For example, Digital Citizenship. After the teacher incorporates a lesson for this standard, students should be able to exhibit leadership, use technology appropriately, etc. Now with the NET-T, I feel it shows us how we should teach... how we should teach so our students learn what we expect them to learn. I feel this is more of the ethics behind what we want our students to learn. It also shows us how we need to act and demonstrate. We cannot teach our students one thing and act against what we are teaching.
This goes along with my GAME plan, because after creating my game plan, I would think of how to incorporate these. I am using digital citizenship with my blogging project. I want them to have a positive experience with technology and I want them to use and speak appropriately while using their blogs. In return, I also need to speak and use my blog and the class blog appropriately. It goes hand in hand!

Leah,
ReplyDeleteI got involved in this graduate program for the very reason you focused on in your post. I wanted to gain confidence with technology and have a plan on how to incorporate it to my students. This class made me more aware of technology and how to use it. I want to share this with my students to help them with the technology skills to survive outside our classroom walls.
Hello Leah,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that we cannot expect our students to perform something for us and they don't at least see us as teachers being active in technology as well. We cannot teach against what we expect them to do. My ultimate goal is for my students to have positive experience with technology, therefore as they get older, they will develop a greater love for it, this was my whole purpose for taking on this masters program.
Leah,
ReplyDeleteWe "practice what we speak", so if we want the students to do something and show good citizenship and use appropriate language we as the educators need to do the same thing.
Much like Gradrunner, I chose to get my masters in technology to get more familiar and comfortable with using technology in my classroom. It has also been a great tool to learn new programs and get great ideas from other classmates. We are there to teach the students about technology and the correct way to use it.
