The MITECS can be integrated into the core curriculum and seem very realistic!]]> 2021-02-25 18:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1242704066 https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1576017198 I'm happy to see that Michigan has aligned the technology standards with ISTE, as the ISTE standards have been created and vetted by experts around the world.]]> 2021-06-01 12:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1576017198 https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1595506164 I teach special education at the middle school level.  I already try to enhance my teaching with technology.  I believe that helping my kids to be fluent with technology will not only help them to graduate, but it will help them in their jobs as adults.  I look forward to learning how to better integrate technology into the curriculum.  We are going to be a one-to-one Chromebook school next year, so I am really excited to learn ideas from this class to share with my co-teachers.

When our district went 1:1 in grades 6-12 several years ago, we prioritized much of our professional development on training our teachers to enhance instruction with technology. Technology tools are definitely not something to be used only in the computer lab, and it's encouraging that the state is aligning standards with ISTE.]]> 2021-06-14 16:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1605455991 https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1667349199 I like that there is integration of technology throughout the curriculum. I am a little anxious when I think about how little technology I have in my alternative ed building. But I do realize that it is an essential part of students' education today]]> 2021-08-03 03:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1667349199 https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1681190270 Due to in increase in demand of technological knowledge in so many facets of our lives, I think it's great to begin integrating technology across the curriculum. I have taken several courses learning ways to do this within my classroom (middle/high school math and science), and it has most certainly enhanced the learning of my students. On the flip side, I hope that schools are able to support teachers by giving them resources and training needed to implement technology within their specific subject area, as it can be more challenging depending on the subject taught.]]> 2021-08-17 00:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1681190270 https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1746495411 I wonder what do I as a computer teacher teach without overlapping what general ed classroom teachers do. There still needs to be some basic skills and understandings that are common and I hope this is discussed.]]> 2021-09-16 16:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kowalskih/bcmnjamt6gos/wish/1746495411
