Technology is a very
important part of effective teaching. As such, all pre-service and
in-service teachers need to
- become
versed in how to use technology effectively,
- be
able to integrate technology into the curriculum, and
- have
their students use technology to support their acquisition of
knowledge and skills related to various standards and frameworks.
The intent of the technology
checklist is to help you identify the technology competencies
associated with effective teaching and to monitor your acquisition of
skills, knowledge, and dispositions related to the use of technology.
Throughout your work to acquire the competencies on this checklist (ISTE
standards) you should plan to reflect on your professional
development and your use of instructional practices that employ
technology. You will be required to continually review your work
toward meeting the competencies, your instructional planning,
teaching, and management. You will need to assess your level of
competence when you start your work on mastering the technology
competencies on this checklist. After assessing your current level of
knowledge and skills you will need to develop a professional
development plan detailing how you will work to develop those
competencies you still need to meet. You will also be required to
maintain a professional development portfolio of your work in which
you will collect evidence of your acquisition of the skills,
knowledge, and dispositions on this checklist.
The Technology in
Education course at NEC provides students with theory and
practice in using technology in the classroom. Students will become
familiar with computer software for use in the content areas. The NEC
Technology Learning Packets are designed to help in the acquisition of
these skills.
