NET Standard 2

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments

Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:

a.	design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
b.	develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
c.	customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
d.	provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

Reflection:

I believe that using technological tools inside the classroom is important. It helps keep student’s attention while also allowing them to use digital gadgets to customize their own kinds of projects and assignments. During the semester we did assignments that were similar to this Net Standard. All of the following assignments were directly related to this particular standard: photo story, assistive technology, and our blogs. During these assignments we used technology to personalize our learning activities and while also assessing our own progress.

Future Goals:

When I become a teacher I plan on encouraging my students to use digital tools while working on class assignments or even projects when they are at home. With the use of developed technology students may be more efficient in attaining their educational goals. For some technology may make everything seem a bit more simple and more interesting rather than hearing a lecture and doing their assignments without any technology assistance. I plan on allowing my student’s to use technology if they see it being a beneficial factor to their assignment.
