Reflective Post

I believe that the MS Office that we have learned in class will effectivly help us meet the NETS standards for teachers. I believe that the MS Office will help facilitate and inspire students learning and creativity. This is the first standard of the NETS. I think this standard means that the teacher uses what she knows about the subject to help children better understand it and then be better able to be creative and be able to use technology to further their knowledge. I feel that the tools of Word, and PPT will help children be able to be more creative when they are doing a project about a particular subject or be able to incorporate pictures and movies into a presentation about it. I think this supports and make then think more creativly and be innovative.

I think that this software will also help to engage in professional growth and leadership. I think this one is importiant to teachers. The Excel is a very good tool for teachers to have because they can use it to keep track of things such as attendence as well as grades and it will update it when you add new scores. I think that this meets the standard because it helps to make the teacher more effective and contributes to the vitality and self-renewal of the porfession and the school of the teacher.

I think that it also applys to designing and developing digital-age learning experiments and assessments. Teachers can use MS Office to develop learning experiances that are new to the student but that will let them incorporate tools into their learning process. I think they can use the computer to give students assignments that incorporate technology kind of like we did in class. I think that what we have learned in class goes with the NETS, otherwise we probably would not be learning it.
