Reflection:

In previous Sections, you have learned about and addressed various parts of the National Education Technology Standards for Teachers (Links to an external site.). This reflection will address one Performance Indicator of the NETS*T. Please reference the linked .pdf for more information.

1. Reflect on NETS*T 2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
2. Rank the following sub-sections: B, C and D, by your strongest to weakest areas.
3. How do you plan to strengthen your skills in each of these areas?
4. Is your self-assessment the same as before you completed this module?
5. In what ways is it the same (if any)? In what ways is it different (if any)?

1.Reflect on NETS*T 2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments

I have learned a great deal about creating digital learning experiences by using technology to introduce, reinforce, enrich, extend and assess mastery of learning objectives. Before taking this class, I was not familiar with how to fully integrate technology to design educational experiences that were personalized. Taking on the 21st century role as facilitator instead of teacher in the classroom is a daily struggle but I understand the importance of not reverting back to the traditional pedagogical approach. Students should have opportunities to demonstrate their innovative and creative thinking skills through authentic learning experiences.

I am excited about the learning and teaching process and my students are excited about the new lessons that I have implemented, as a result of the knowledge that I have gained from this class. The most difficult piece is to trust the process and not revert back to business as usual. I have learned a lot about the technology standards for teachers and students. I am a work in progress, but I have evolved dramatically in the last few weeks in terms of designing and developing digital learning experiences and assessments.

2. Rank the following sub-sections: B,C and D, by your strongest to weakest areas.

I rank myself from strongest to weakest in the following order:C,B,D

c. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources

Plan To Strengthen: I plan to continue actively addressing the ISTE teacher and student standards and using technology resources to develop activities to address students’ varied learning styles. I will also collaborate with peers to develop project-based learning opportunities that are multisensory with authentic learning experiences.

b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.

Plan To Strengthen- I plan to continue researching and learning about student-centered activities that have hands-on and meaningful learning experiences. I will also collaborate with my KPLC and grade level team to develop and nurture learning environments that allow students to have more voice and choice and opportunities for self-reflection in terms of setting their educational goals and assessing their own progress.

d. Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards, and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching

Plan To Strengthen- I will identify and locate technology resources through professional development, the district and continual research in order to provide my students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards for students. I will collaborate with my grade level team to analyze data and inform instruction for optimal student achievement.

6. Is your self-assessment the same as before you completed this module?

Yes, my self-assessment is the same as before I completed this module.

1, In what ways is it the same (if any)? In what ways is it different (if any)

Data is primarily used to improve student achievement, set goals and monitor the progress of all students. It is also a powerful tool for teachers to use in order to guide their instruction and differentiate according to students’ needs. Data should be used by grade levels to have conversation about how to address student growth and areas of weaknesses, but unfortunately this does not always happen.
