As an educator I plan on teaching grade levels PK-2nd grade. After reading the Project Tomorrow article and now comparing that with the Technology Standards for students, I can see many similarities that will aid to my teaching. Many students PK-2, even though low grade level, are already having access to many electronic devices, which a main bullet in the profile is engaging with learners through email and other electronic means. I believe that this significant increase in technology will create much more advance learning and communication starting young and will continue to spread throughout all grade levels, by promoting the suggested creativity and innovation. Having a better understanding and comprehension of multiple technology usages will prepare the learner to not only communicate with the instructor, but also advance their learning levels and skills much quicker.
I agree with technology advancements.

ReplyDeleteYou have made some good connections between the ISTE profiles and the Project Tomorrow report. You are right, the Pk-2 students are already using many technologies before they even start school.
