The main requirements of standard 1 begins with guiding and inspiring students to expand their learning and creativity. This standard wants us to use prior and new knowledge to make meaningful experiences for each student that will support advancement. We want students to be competent learners who are able to be creative and use their innovative thoughts in various environments. Students have to be motivated to want to discover the wide variety of resources out and available for them to use to problem solve and explore real world issues.
I feel that as I become more confident in my technology skills I am able to inspire my students to be more creative. I want my students to have a conceptual understanding of how to use their creative skills in and out of the classroom. I allow my students to explore and experiment with the smart board in our classroom. It is my goal for them to be competent and not hesitant when faced with new technology tools. My students are always allowed center time to explore the computers and use their technology skills to expand their knowledge. I know that the world is rapidly changing and technology is here and not going away. Business owners are wanting graduates who are able to display their technology skills right out of high school. With the changes in our school standards, we are beginning to merge technology skills into our standards so that students are capable and able to perform at a higher level.
