NETS Standard 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

ISTE Definition: Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:

    1. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.

    2. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.

    3. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.

    4. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.

How I apply this standard in my teaching.

Allowing students to take charge of their learning helps create meaningful connections between prior knowledge and new concepts. Learning in creative ways increases comprehension and enhances student reflection. Project based learning creates the perfect environment for students to experiment with new ideas.
