5. ISTE is a national educational technology organization that has led to the development of the nationally recognized technology standards for both ________ and ________.

Open Ended Questions

1. The No Child Left Behind Act requires that by the time students finish the eighth grade they should be technology literate. Discuss what ‘technology literate’ means and the pros and cons to the NCLB Act.

2. The NETS standards are used to measure and guide teachers and students to achieve technology literacy. According to NETS, a technologically literate student is who is deemed to be proficient in six broad areas or categories. What problems, if any could school boards face when using these standards? Do you think that the standards should be the same for all areas? How could standards in one area mean one thing but mean something else in a totally different area?

3. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) require that colleges of education include courses or experience in the use of technology and all its facets and integrating it into the classroom in accordance with NCLB. Imagine being an Elementary Education teacher and going into a classroom with no computers or other technological hardware or software. How do you follow these ‘rules’ without the support of the school? What creative ways can you come up with to solve this problem, since simply buying the proper equipment is not an option due to lack of funding?

4. With the constant evolution of technology and the continuous growth of information, how would you continue to teach the teachers so that they don’t fall behind? What would you say to the proposition of NTLB (No Teacher Left Behind) Act?

5. There are many online training opportunities for educators to learn new ideas and ways to integrate technologies into their classrooms. Some of the sites include adobe.com/training/, apple.com/education/services/training/ and Microsoft.com/education/schools.mspx. Find two other sites where teachers can go to for similar opportunities and describe what you like or dislike about them.

6. Well written standards have measurable outcomes so that educators can assess student learning, the level of learning achieved and how learning is demonstrated and incorporate technology requirements as set forth by ISTE. Suppose testing students one way to measure and assess student proficiency and you have a student that you know is proficient yet can’t pass the test? How would you handle this situation?

7. Design a lesson plan to be used in the classroom. Assume that you do have the use of a computer and projector similar to the one we have in class. Include some of the different technologies we have discovered or some that you may be aware of that we as a class are not.

8. Think back to your days in school. Try to remember some of the lessons that you learned that involved the use of technology. Remembering what was, will help you to realize the potential of what is and what’s to come. For example, I remember in elementary school writing short stories and then using the old square apple computers with the super loud keyboard that typed in green on a black screen. Then you printed it out on the paper with the holes on both sides with the perforated lines to tear them off. No word or wordpad, just a plain screen with that blinking green square, like the one Doogie Howser used on the television show. Then tell how you would teach that same lesson to students now using today’s technologies.

9. Educational technologies are very broad and open to interpretation. With the vast amount of information available today and how rapidly it changes how can you justify the ISTE or the NETs as fair?

10. Do you feel that studying Educational Technology is a waste of time considering that most teachers will not get the opportunity to use such luxuries due to lack of funding?

11. At what age or grade level do you feel it is most appropriate to start integrating educational technologies into the classroom? Is there an age or grade level where you feel students are just too young? Why or why not?

12. Suppose that you as a teacher gave an assignment to your class of 20 students to research a specific topic. Each student is given a different topic and they must use three online resources and they must be documented. What problems might they face? What could you do to guide them in the right direction prior to starting the assignment? How will they know whether information they gather is credible or not?

13. We have used Wiki’s for the entire semester for assignments and projects. After having one do you think it is something that you will continue to use in the future for either personal/professional use? In the classroom with your students? Their parents? Other ideas?

14. With the recent increase in student enrollment in distance learning and more college classes becoming available through this format, do you think that the lack of human interaction amongst people will have a negative effect on us as an interactive society? How do you feel about a teacher, someone that might directly affect you or your children, having this type of ‘education’? Is there a grey area or is it black and white?

15. Do you feel that a teacher or school should have to right to fail a student based on attendance or lack thereof or should your grade simply be a reflection of your work?
