Topic 1: Standards Summary

NETS:

The NETS are standards that are put into place to make technology elements more available to students and teachers. The main goal of the NETS are to engage the learning community in a school both by faculty and students. They also allow for digital experiences and assessments, modeling of digital work, promote digital citizenship and responsibility, and to engage in professional growth and leadership. These goals will make a school more enlightened to what teachers and students need in the future as technology advances.

The NETS help me as a teacher to know what I need to follow through on in teaching the classroom and I like the fact that we do follow citizenship to help with online plagiarism.



Technology TEKS:

The TEKS are in place for teachers to know what they are responsible for teaching their students. These goals are achievable in every content subject and elective to show students that technology reaches across the curriculum. The goals are in place for students to be able to survive in our technological savvy world outside the classroom. There are also exit grade levels that students are required to know by the end of the year before they move on to the next grade.

The TEKS help me as a teacher know specifically what I have to teach in a given year.

MTT:

The Master Technology Teacher is a teacher that is the lead technology teacher on a campus. This teacher is inside the classrooms in the building to help other teachers incorporate technology into their classes. Their job is also to facilitate appropriate, research based technology instruction in the classrooms of the building. The main job of a MTT is to allow other teachers to glean from their knowledge.

As a future MTT, I hope that this will allow me to see how I can be more helpful on my campus.
