NETS-T 2, 4, 5
This was an internet resource that allowed us to test our own familiarity with the NETS standards and explore helpful resources that would ahelp enamble us to meet the standards in our classroom.
I choose to explore Nets-Ts standard 4, Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibly, because it seemed very interesting to me. The Question that really caught my eye was number 4 which stated, "I involve students in opportunities to develop cultural understanding and global awareness through digital-age communications and collaboration projects with students from other countries." As of today, I would have no clue how to engage my class with communication with other students from other countries, but see this as a truly remarkable learning tool. However while this site did not have any specific resources to help me establish this communication, it did have many other resources involving teaching students proper online etiquette and communication with others. One that I thought would be a great classroom experience was titled, Skype an Author, in which students would be able to actually sit face to face via the internet with the author of the book they are studying. Another great tool was called eLanguages, and was a collaboration tool for teachers around the world to share lessons and ideas. Through this site Teachers can begin conversations with teachers from other countries which could possible build a online relationship between the two classes, in which the students will be able to learn about the others cultures and lifestyles.
