My
understanding of the term of “new literacies” pertains to the growth of
technology that is being utilized in the education world. Tools of technology (computers, e-readers, iPods, iPads, document readers, and so on) have changed the landscape of
education. With that change, teachers
need to be able to use and to teach students how to find their way around the
internet using different tools. Teachers
will show students how to read, to understand, and to assess the information
being presented.
The NETS, like the CCSS, are standards created for students and teachers as a road map in the ever-changing digital world.
I
am incorporating technology into my classroom by using it as a documentation
tool. I take photographs and movies of
my students while they are in action. I
am able to share this documentation with my director as well as my student’s
parents during conferences. I am eager
to learn more about integrating tech into my classroom practices. My school is currently implementing the use
of a web program, edoctrina . For our
professional development, each teacher is required to put in their units of
study and lesson plans in order to create a cohesive scope and sequence for the
school in anticipation of an upcoming accreditation process.
