Technology Self-Assessment (School 2.0)

 NETS-T l

The reason that I chose this Performance Indicator for Teachers is because I strongly support alternative learning methods. We should stay connected and take advantage of all teachers’ resources and strive to have a more consistent level of academic excellence around the world. The resource that I explored focused on two highlights of this standard.
a. primary-model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
b. secondary-promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
Rock Our World is a national project for all grade levels that brings students and teachers from around the world together to create an alternative and powerful learning experience for our classrooms. This project shows how children’s desire to learn through fun with interactive games can inspire individuals to work even harder on their performance. Creativity is the key element in this style of teaching. I learned that using common world-wide objects, schools can create and share games with music and movies, and even meet online to talk through video chats sharing ideas.
