The technology of today is old by tomorrow; therefore, a teacher has to be aware of the new advancements in technology. I have some vague knowledge of Classroom Response Systems (CRS) which allows a teacher to ask convergent and divergent questions, and receive immediate feedback. Discussion boards or chat rooms are some ways that technology can be used to answer convergent and divergent questions. I am not too keen on their uses in the classroom.
As a teacher, technology will continue become pervasive in the classroom and I will have to go to seminars on the advancements of technology in education to be knowledgeable. I will convey to my students these advances, that they may already be knowledgeable. I will use the Internet and Power Point mainly to instruct my students, and incorporate any other types of technology that I feel will better help to educate the different types of learners in my classroom.

Prompt #4-ISTE Standards for Teachers
How do I plan to integrate technology in my classroom to enhance the teaching and learning process?
Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
I will allow my students to list topics or questions that they would like to discuss more indepth or to see on a test. My teaching style would include discussion, feedback, posing a question and giving the class a few minutes to write down their thoughts and share them, rate how they feel what they have learned after each lesson or test.
Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experience and Assessments
I will have the students assigned to groups, and the groups will read an assigned chapter. They will present and report to the class what they have learned from researching the chapter through the use of Power Point and other technology. The students and I will take notes on each chapter presentation and ask questions, and I will use that information to test the students' knowledge.
Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
I will teach lessons through the use of Power Point, and incorporate websites, links, You Tube, or a movie that pertains to a book or lesson that is being discussed.
Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
I will convey to my students that teachers have to adhere to the same copyright, legal and ethical practices as students. I will use the VARK/VAK (visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic or tactile learners) teaching style and promote a learner-centered classroom.
Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
I will teach my students how to use Power Point or further their knowledge of technology in education, and discover what I can learn from my students as well in the advancements of technology.

Prompt #3-ISTE Standards for Students
How can I apply the current use of technology in the daily life of my students using ISTE Standards for Students?
Creativity and Innovation
I will give each student a week to create a name tag that represents themselves. Each student will present and describe their name tag in front of the classroom. The students and I will be able to ask questions, make inferences, and discuss diversity related to the information given to us by each presenter.
Communication and Creativity
I can create a graffiti wall of paper and enlist my students to go home or to the library and research information on the lesson. Throughout the lesson, my students can write facts on the graffiti wall that they discovered and they feel would be interesting to their classmates.
Research and Information Fluency
I can assign a group research project that will require students to work together, and present their research to the class through use of Power Point and other technology.
Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making
I can assign short- and long-term group projects that will require the students to choose a topic, organize their time in an individual and group setting, appoint the role each student will have during the project, and present the research together in a timely manner.
Digital Citizenship
I will impress upon my students to share in their responsibility in doing the research, use the strengths of each student when choosing the role of researching and presenting their project, understand the value of acquiring knowledge and not plagiarizing.
Technology Operations and Concepts
The students will have to save projects and research papers to a flash drive, display knowledge of Power Point, incorporate the use of links and other technology into their projects and research papers.

Prompt #2- Indentfying Technology in the Classroom
As a student, technology has played an efficacious and inefficacious role throughout. I recall the use of the annoying projector to watch movies. Through advancement, movies changed from film to compact discs; used to compare and contrast a book of the same title.
When I entered college, I was introduced to my the professors' notes being presented in Power Point to lecture to the class, and now has become pervasive in my college classrooms. Power Point is used by some of my professors and by many of my classmates, and the insertion of links to other websites or You Tube is routinely incorporated into the lesson or project.

Prompt #1-Technology Throughout My Education
As an elementary student, learning about spelling and grammar were significant and taught through lecture by my teachers with the use of reading books and writing on the chalkboard. I do not believe that technology played a role in my education in those early years.
As a I graduated into middle and high school education, the use of technology gradually played a small role. We watched movies on television in class that pertained to the lesson. I was instructed to use the Internet to write research papers when books did not provide current information.
During my adult college years, I use the Internet mainly to become more knowledgeable in areas that I were lacking, and when I need current and various information for projects and research papers. During my field experience observations, I learned about the SMART board. The teachers I observed also incorporated You Tube and Power Point into the lessons. During a discussion on the role of technology in education and education portfolios, I have became acquainted with the Library of Congress website last year.
