List of Critiques

Educational technology facilitators demonstrate an in-depth understanding of technology operations and concepts. Educational technology facilitators.

TF-I.A. Demonstrate knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology (as described in the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers). Candidates:

  1. Assist teachers in the ongoing development of knowledge, skills, and understanding of technology systems, resources, and services that are aligned with district and state technology plans.
  2. Provide assistance to teachers in identifying technology systems, resources, and services to meet specific learning needs.

TF-I.B. Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies. Candidates:

  1. Model appropriate strategies essential to continued growth and development of the understanding of technology operations and concepts.

Reflection:
This standard is important because it  keeps the momentum of technology education rolling. A technology facilitator has to know what is "hot" and emerging. PowerPoint was so popular in the past 3-5 years and know it is the norm. Everyone knows how to create one, especially the students. It had been proven that traditional educational practices do not provide today's learners with the skills he or she will need when they enter the workforce. Students must be knowledgeable about using technology to collaborate and communicate. Therefore technology facilitators must keep the teachers informed. They must showcase best practices in technology integration in the curriculum. It was once said that teachers are the worst students. It is definitely true. Technology facilitators not only need to keep teachers abreast of emerging technology but also teach it effectively.
     My two articfacts are a proposal for a workshop I will actually be teaching this summer in my district and the power point I will be using. It shows Language Arts teachers some very interesting ways of incorporating technology in writing instruction.
