Technology Self Assessment 2.0

Module 2: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.
#4: Provide students with multiple and varied opportunities to demonstrate their learning, and I make data-based decisions to customize and adapt future learning opportunities aligned with content and technology standards. 

I chose this standard because I am not super technology savvy yet, and I think integrating technology into useful and comprehensible lesson formats will be difficult for me at first.  I also picked this standard because I have never really had instructors who have used technology usefully during classroom instruction (other than 422) and I thought it would be useful to see how this resource explains the importance of technology in student development.

What I learnedStudies are showing that 21st Century educational techniques involving technology help to promote deeper thinking, adapting to different workplace skills, and promotes a higher level skill development.  Integrating technology into the classroom, which promotes a different approach to student assessment for learning, creates new pathways to the end, learned result, but allows students to challenge themselves, explore, and think in new patterns. The learning process should never be assumed by educators.  Allowing students to utilize technology in the learning process, helps them become more innovative and creative, and broaden their exploration and journey in the educational process.
