I.
Technology Operations and Concepts
I-A. Demonstrate introductory
knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology
(as described in the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards
for Students).
Evidences:
Technology Foundation Standards for All Students
NCSCOS for Grade Three: Computer/Technology Skills
Reflection:
All teachers
are aware of the NCSOS and the requirements for teaching mathematics,
language arts, science, and social studies. However, we also have
standard courses of study for physical education, visual arts, and
technology education. I was unaware that teachers are expected to
meet technology standards in addition to the "core subjects" until very
recently. As our world is becoming increasingly technology
oriented, our curriculum must adjust to fit that world. Students
should leave my classroom ready to embrace fourth grade math, as well
as fourth grade technology. To succeed in anything, our students must have basic computer and technology skills.
