Reflection
The second standard states that teachers should use up-to-date technology that can deliver and assess what students are learning in the class. Students have different learning styles and as teachers we need to incorporate technology that meets the different learning styles of all students. In this class, we have learned about so many different tools that can reach all students. There are several projects that I chose for this standard. First, I chose the podcast and video story because they are great ways to deliver new content to the students. The podcast is great for students who are audio learners, while the video story is great for those who are visual learners. I also chose Edpuzzle and Quizzezz for this standard. These two are a great way to assess the students and make sure that they understand the content that they are learning in the class. Lastly, the course website allows for the teacher to provide students with course content, resources, assignments, and much more. On the course website, the teacher can supply the students with all kinds of different resources that can provide differentiated instruction in the class.
In the future, I hope to integrate many of these learning tools in my classroom. It is important to me to be able to reach all diverse learning styles. I will continue to learn about new technology that is available out there so that I will always be up to date with current technology so that I can provide the best learning tools for my students.
