ISTE Standards Reflection

Standard Chosen: Collaborator (2.4)

The ISTE Educator Standard of Collaborator focuses on using technology to support student collaboration and communication. This Padlet activity aligns with the Collaborator standard because it provides a shared digital space where students can view and respond to each other’s ideas. Students are not only answering questions but also engaging with their peers’ responses, which helps build communication skills. The tool encourages a sense of classroom community, even in a digital environment. By using Padlet, I am creating opportunities for students to collaborate and learn from one another. This demonstrates how technology can be used to enhance interaction and participation in meaningful ways.
