"IMPORTANCE OF ISTE STANDARDS"
In fact, the ISTE Standards have always led the way in redefining learning and teaching. Educators who participate in ISTE Standards-based professional learning programs say they see positive results, including increased student engagement, improved proficiency with technology and student learning gains.
a.)What are the ISTE
standards that you possess? Please cite specific personal experiences wherein
you portray such standards?
One
of the ISTE standards that I possess is the Creative Communicator. Having the
ability communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of
purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media
appropriate for your goals. Using this standard especially when you’re having
an oral reporting in class is very functional for me. You are going to select a
digital tool which is appropriate for your topic and would improve your way of
publishing or presenting the content that customizes your message and medium
for your intended audiences. Digital Citizen is another standard that I
possess. You are engaging in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when
using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked
devices. Every time I engaged myself in social media especially in Facebook, I
always make it sure that my post are appropriate and in ways that are safe,
legal and ethical. “Always think before you click”.
b.) As a future teacher, in what ways can you develop these
standards among your students?
As a future teacher,
one way to develop ISTE standards among my students is to let theme engage in
various activities that involves the use of digital tools. Conducting
collaborative activities locally and globally helps broaden students’
perspectives and enrich their learning by working effectively and efficiently
in teams. Expose them to social interconnected world wherein they could express
their thoughts and ideas from the topics that you have discussed in the
classroom. Example for this is by letting them make their own blog. The
students should also be prepared to thrive in a constantly evolving
technological landscape.

YOU
