Standard #1

Summary: Teachers use their knowledge of the subject matter and technology to help students’ learning and creativity. Teachers are required to promote and model creative thinking and inventiveness to solve real-world problems and to promote and model technological collaboration.                                                                                                                                        Reflection: My personality and my philosophy of education embrace innovative strategies to achieve student understanding. However, as a true “digital immigrant,” I realize how slow I am in accomplishing what my younger colleagues seem to master quickly. It seems that there are dozens more applications and techniques than I know how to use.  Lack of time and stamina are my enemies when it comes to accomplishing my goal of becoming extremely comfortable and competent with   technology. Constantly asking questions and “playing” with the myriad computer and, particularly Promethean functions, are my methods of reaching the goal of becoming more technologically adept.
