Twitter

Twitter HW Discussion

Over the past two weeks I had been following 25 individuals involved in ESL and Bilingual education. This is my first time using Twitter.  Prior to joining this program in my technology class, I thought that Twitter was a waste of time.  However, my view about twitter has changed.  Now without a doubt, I find it to be the best way to share and discover what is happening right now in the world.  This tool has helped me communicate with other professional people, colleagues, friends, and relatives.  I think using twitter is very interesting and useful.

Teachers and Students Technology Standards

Comparing and Contrasting student and teacher technology standards:

In reading the technology student standards between 1998 in compare to 2007, I see a huge difference in terms of technological advances. In the standards of 2007 many different types of technology can be used to support and enhance academic learning, for example, everything from video content and digital moviemaking to laptop computing and handheld technologies. Where as in 1998 technology seems to be more basic or limited as to what students can do in order for them to be able to compete more globally. Unlike 1998 standards, the 2007 provides the critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making which is so important for the success of the students, as stated in # 4.

In the teacher technology standards between 2000 and 2008, it also shows a big difference in the way technology was used. For instance, in 2008 technology is being integrated at a much higher level in terms of what teacher can do in order for them to not only prepare students to compete globally with other countries but also to communicate more effectively with other colleagues and parents, and students. The 2008 standards also provide teachers with professional development and growth to help them communicate and share ideas locally and globally with other people. For example, technology is now being utilized by teachers to communicate and provide valuable information to parents and their children, to test students with the state standardize assessments with much more sophistication and record students’ data. Teachers can also integrate technology across all content areas to promote higher levels of learning and creativity among students by engaging them to explore real-life issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources, as stated in # 1.
