There were many different NETS standards that could be applied to an instructional strategy in the classroom. The two standards that I thought were important to explore in my classroom were: 1b-engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. The other standard was 3a-demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. I believe it is really important that students explore real world issues in their learning. When students can relate to the standard that needs to be met, the concept is easier to comprehend.
I would like to incorporate many projects that revolve around the two standards I set for my GAME plan. With the amount of technological tools getting more advanced, the need to incorporate them into the curriculum is ever most important. Students need to understand and grasp the importance of the digital tools and resources that are readily available to them. To continue on making sure my students develop proficiency in the technology standards educators need to be up to date on the current technologies. Being able to relay that information to the students is extremely important.

MIke,
ReplyDeleteI agree that finding the right problems to tackle with your students is an important standard and one that leads into so many others. Being up to date with technological tools is important, but it seems there are new tools appearing all of the time.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteThroughout this course and program you have seemed to be very motivated in educating students in health/ p.e. while using technology. Have you ever thought about spreading knowledge gained from taking courses in integrating technology in the classroom to other P.E. teachers in your school district? If your school district isn't already moving in the direction that your currently trying to move in with your students, I think they should definitely adopt some of your wonderful ideas about teaching the mind and the body. Good luck with all your future endeavors!
