assignment. A class discussion can also be done which helps the whole class get
involved. Blogs can be created so that each student can do a presentation and other
students are able to read it. Another example, which has help in a classroom, is letting
students work in groups to complete an assignment using a laptop. Teachers can make
lesson which can help diverse students understand each other. Another good reason
why I think technology should be kept in schools is because it also helps teacher use
digital books, get information faster for their lesson plans. It also helps teachers in doing
attendance, keeping up to date with emails from administration or communicating with
parents. I strongly think technology should be kept at schools because all jobs have to
do with some kind of technology. Students need to be preparing for the workforce. The
only way they will learn is, if we continue teaching them in our schools. This in return will
help the generation of tomorrow for their careers. Technology is a need we cannot be
without.
Please consider my explanation of why I think technology is very important and helpful
at our school. Technology and social media is not only important for teachers, but
students who are our future.
Respectfully,

Identification of Standards:
Standards are guidelines for schools, teachers, students and parents. They are
important because it gives them a guide to where students goals should be in
education. Students goals can be met at a quarter, semester and end of school year.
Standards provide what a student should have learned in a grade level and a subject.
Each School District creates and provides educators with a State Standard. It also lets
educators know what needs to be taught for each subject and allows them to work on
what standardized test are going to be about.
Standards have differences and similarities. For example, National Standards are made
by national organizations. The teachers have the chance to express what they think
works best for the students in instructional decisions. Whereas, State Standards, are
schools in one state are provided with a standard which all educators must use.
National Standards are not required to be used. Standards are important because
teachers would not know what to teach students in each grade level and would not
know what goal they are striving for. With Standards teachers, parent and district would
know what is being taught in a classroom, what goals are being met and what will be on
a test.
The negative side to having Standards is that they focus on subjects such as, Math,
Reading, and Science. They are not giving teachers the opportunity to focus on other
subjects, like History or other electives. Standards would also require that all students
meet the same criteria of education in every state.
Technology is giving students in all grade levels the opportunity to enter to a new digital
world. It is giving them a chance to take an active role of learning, achieving and
competing in their abilities. Students are able to process, identify and problem solving.
Students can express themselves using critical thinking, tools, formats, and media to
accomplish their goal. For example, in Grade School technology can be used to build
foundations for future learning. Middle School, it provides an opening for high school
level. It provides theoretical concepts in real world applications. At a High School level,
students learn technology applications and systems which will help them in the
workforce.
Standards all are created to provide the best teaching tools for teachers, at the same
time providing the best education for students. Common Core Standards are direct
towards achieving the best education. The difference is that each district and state has
a different set of goals and assessments. All Standards set a goal to students
achievement. Standards shouldnt be politicized. They should have effective
implements; the value of Common Cores equals Equity, Competition and Collaboration.
Standard for Lesson Plan:
NT.K-12.1 BASIC OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS: Students demonstrate a sound
understanding of the nature and operation and operation of technology skills.
-Students are proficient in the use of technology.
