NETS-T+Standard1


 * 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity**

Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.

Teachers:


 * a.** promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
 * b.** engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
 * c.** promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
 * d.** model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments

Brody Hamel - NETS-T Standard 1b: I agree with Eric that the "wonder wheel" would be a great tool to teach students that are researching a specific topic. I never knew of this until last weeks class.

mike guzaldo 1. A. Google documents could be used to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity in many different ways. An effective way to use google documents would be allowing students to collaborate on common documents. Working together to come up with ideas and solution for problems will allow for increased student creativity.

Kelsi Countryman 1d: I believe visual learning includes modeling of learning with students. When I use a graphic organizer or pictures to help explain something, I always model how to complete the graphic organizer on my own befor they are expected to try it themselves. In LA we model brainstorming, filling in an organizer, and finally writing a paper. We collaborate with the students in filling out the visually enticing graphic organizer.

Eric Pertiet: NETS-T Standard 1d: Having students collaborate on constructing a procedural diagram would give students an oppertunity to visualize a procedure to be interpreted.

Yesenia Sanchez NETS-T 1.a I believe that Google docs can be used to enhance students learning in all classrooms. Certainly when it comes to the first NETS-T standard that deals with facilitating and inspiring student learning and creativity. The use of Google docs would allow students to work together and collaborate on projects and activities not only in the classroom but from home as well. Google docs would also provide the opportunity to work with students in other classrooms and even other schools. This would be a great way of getting the students to see what students in other classrooms and schools are working on. Not only is it a great way to work together but it might also create friendships among students who would normally not hang out together. Another great use of Google docs in the classroom is the forms application. I think that students would love to create surveys and see the results from their peers. This application gives them the opportunity to get to know each other at a different level. I think that this tool would be a great tool to us for solving problems among students. They could create forms to try to understand another persons point of view or thought on a specific situation.

Kelsi Countryman 1a: Through movie maker students could make a fantastic presentation of their learning (multiple topics). I believe this could be used to enhance the strengths of certain students who may not excel in the traditional classroom. In my LA classes for example I could have the students create a presentation through movie maker to show they know the key elements of a story.

Eric Pertiet: NETS-T Standard 1b: The use of the "wonder wheel" on google can be a strong instrument for students to use for research. The "wonder wheel' lets them start with a broad subject and follow a specific direction.

Mike Jacobs ISTE Standards Sheet 1. A. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity a. Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness - In a personal power class that I teach I could touch on this standard by having the students write journal entries about the days or even weeks activities. I give the kids a question or two to ponder about in the journal assignment that dealt with what we did in class. The kids then use their creativity, and in some cases work with other students and put their ideas on paper. I then go and read these entries and write some positive feedback and comments to them to help support their creativity. Whenever I assign group journals entries, the questions are usually more challenging and require the work of the group and collaborative thinking. Overall it allows for a lot of creativity. By using google documents with this class I could have kids put their information on google and then other students can read what they write and respond or even just have something to meditate on. I could also put the assignment on google documents so the students can log on, write their journal entry and then send it back to me. This would eliminate paper use as well as allow for multiple people to put in their input.

Emily Lundin I could use google documents with my Personal Power class. This group learns a variety of teambuilding activities which help students communicate, problem solve, and trust one another. Their final project includes creating their own teambuilding activity, as well as teaching it to the class. They work in groups of 5-6 people and must create a lesson plan to be turned in on the day they present. I would share the rubric with students and they could create a google document of their lesson plan. This would allow students to collaborate together on their lesson plan, make changes when needed, and I could provide feedback for them as well. This activity would meet NETS-T standard 1.d: "Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments."

Scott Luken NETS-T Standard 1.a. Google docs allows you to easily create and implement a survey and chart the results.In addition to learning how to create an electonic survey, student's can use the data from the results to learn how circle and bar charts are created.

Becki Deater: NETS-T Standard 1d: A Wiki or Blog could be used by groups of teachers that don't get to meet regularly face to face to discuss curriculum. For example, if the 7th and 8th grade math teachers rarely get a chance to sit down and meet, they could keep a Wiki or Blog to collaborate on what is going on in their classrooms, things they've tried that have worked/not worked, etc.

Eric Pertiet: NETS-T Standard 1c: Use a wiki critique posted document for accuracy and sound concepts. Jessica Brown

Heidi - NETS-T Standard 1b The internet is a place where many students are getting their news and information. We can incorporate that into the classroom by allowing them to look up recent or current real world issues and summarize their findings. Many times students do not know how to filter what is true and what is made up, this gives the teachers a chance to explain to the students truth vs reality and using digital resources to get their information and make sure it is reliable.
 * b.** engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources

The NETS-T Standard I have choosen to focus on at this point is:

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:

d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments To do this I will... 1. Use a survey to online through google forms to check with colleagues/staff at my current center through Yorkville School District on their ideas to improve our current environment. On this survey I would like to include their ideas for improvement, their current concerns, and their personal reflections on our current enrollement issues.

Katy Ruppel NETS-T 1.d- I think that this would be a great way for students to collaborate on some of our team units, we do two of them with our 5th graders. The first is to come up with a dance, the second is to come up with a game that can be played with the whole class. By using a Wiki, students could put up important ideas and opinions about the activity, while still having one moderator to keep things organized.

Kelsi I believe using the blog technique would be great for teaching students to have an open communication on a certain topic. The class could have an open forum, virtual discussion, having students research, argue, and debate a specific topic. In using this technique students would learn how to have an ongoing discussion on a specific topic, they would also be leanring how to research and debate a certain topic.

Jim Struyk D:

Create a Wiki page for students to research jazz artists and share information. Each student will research a composer from an upcoming concert. Students will create a WIKI page for each. When students find reference's to other composers on the concert, they can add that information to the other pages. Links to music, videos, and websites can be posted as well.

Ivette I believe that WIKI would be a fantastic tool for this Standards, particularly with (a) which, "promotes, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness" because of the ability for students edit, share and advocate their thoughts on an infinite number of possiblities. I can see WIKI being a great tool in my classroom when we learn about the various Reading Comprehension strategies. Students can share and discuss their techniques for a particular reading strategy and provide examples of them. I think it would also lead to discussions about test-taking strategies, which everyone can benefit from.

Yesenia Sanchez NETS-T 1.d

I think that students could use a Wiki or a blog to colloborate on a project. They could use it as tool for peer editiing and helping each other improve their writing skills. Teachers could also use a Wiki or a blog to work with other teacher and share ideas on the curriculum. This is a great tool for preparing units together or if they are working on thematic units.

Jackie Bargmann NETS-T 1. c

I believe that I could use this standard to engage students in the reflection process by utilizing technology such as Wikispaces. Students are already familiar with social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook, With those, students are already reading and responding via virtual messaging. By introducing students to Wikis, they can interact with each other, but it can be focused on a specific academic topic. They are able to read, respond, reflect, and correspond with each other about the topic I have introduced. This also allows for interaction between teacher and students. It is a constant process that can continue throughout a unit of study.

Emily Lundin NETS-T 1.a Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. I could use Audacity and Movie Maker with my dance classes to support the above standard. In my classes, students learn a variety of dances. They could then use the two programs to create a music video. Obviously, there would have to be some guidelines set in place as well as a discussion on what would be appropriate. I think it would be a fun, creative way for students to show off their dancing, singing, speaking abilities. It could be used as their final project.

Betsy Smith NETS-T 1. a "Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness." I could use audacity and movie maker in my classroom to work on reading fluency. I see this as a wonderful tool to use in showing students how they sound/look while reading. In showing them, I would then be able to help them make changes to be a more fluent reader, and they would be able to see what that looks like/sounds like as well. I think that the kids would really enjoy seeing themselves and perhaps be able to conceptualize a skill that for many first graders is very abstract. It could be used as an RtI intervention.

Nicci Ciesla NETS-T 1.c. I think that Movie Maker would be a great tool for reflection on projects. I can envision students using Movie Maker in order to "interview" one another about their performance, especially with a group project. Although the discussion/interview itself might be quite lengthy or perhaps "go off on tangents," they could edit their interview/discussion to the most important aspects, which they would then turn in as their final aspect of the project. Also, with having the option to edit and re-do, students might provide better and more honest feedback. This type of feedback is always helpful to the teacher as well in helping us to revise a project for future classes.

Carri Oslager 1c- Using the moviemaker to create a new way for students to complete a student-generated notes project for a chapter. Instead of the typical ppt, they could put together movie clips that shows students discussing and creating their notes for a specific seciton. The movie maker could also take the place of an essay where students could discuss the topic, sharing ideas while making their points clear. A rubric would have to be in place but it would make it more interesting.

Patrick Haddock 1c- I currently have students using a program similar to moviemaker to edit a weekly news cast that 5th grade students film throughout the week. The students download the video files into the video editing software and then create a weekly news cast. This has become a valuable tool to help the students become creative thinkers, and gain a overall understanding of how digital video software works and what they can do with this kind of software.

Katy Ruppel Using video editing software for students for their own awareness of movement could really benefit students who are unable to complete certain tasks. By showing a student how they are moving and then showing them what the correct movement would look like might aid in better understanding. This could also then be used to show the impovements the students have made over time and their growth as learners.
 * 1.** **a.** promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness

Scott Luken NETS-T 1. a "Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness." I would consider using Audacity to leave messages for my substitute teacher and for my classes on days when I will not be in my classroom. Audacity would allow me to leave very specific, detalied instructions for both my sub and students. In fact, I can personalize different messages for each class period. When students hear my voice, (hopefully) it will create a sense of normality even though there is a sub in the classroom.

Brenda Petre-1.c- A way to use the movie maker as a teacher would be to record student presentations and then have the students watch their presentations on a computer and then fill out an assessment sheet.

Jackie Bargmann NETS-T My students really like making videos of the different battles that we discuss in class. I have never been able to edit a video that I’ve recorded, nor help students with any technical needs they have. The videos have always been made and edited outside of school. I would like to assign this project again, but use time in class to do the editing. Since our school has Movie Maker, it would be great to see my students utilizing that program with their group in school. It also eliminates the problem of one student doing all of the work. I would like to model how to use Movie Maker, then help the kids with any questions that they have.

Nets-T Standard 1c Teachers could use visual representations when promoting student reflection. Students could use technology to visualize their reflections and from this teachers could clarify the creative process taking place, especially if the student does not speak much of the same language as the teacher.

Brody Hamel NETS-T Standard 1a - Creating visuals is a way for teachers to model creative and innovative thinking. By creating visuals teachers can make a lesson more appealing to those students who are "visual" learnings. Adding visuals to a lesson also makes it more intesting and attention grabbing.

Frank Chapman Standard 1A: The use of audio clips is an excellent way to enhance innovative thinking. For example use a writing strategy to have students reflect upon a speech in history class or when discussing current events.

Brandon Daub 1c. You can use movie maker to take video of someone performing a skill (sports) and have the students watch the movie and reflect on what the performer did right and what they did wrong.

Jessica Brown NETS- T Standard 1 A: Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers: a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness Using video in the classroom, you could use face to face video with other classrooms studying the same unit within the same region or in another state. This is a way to make children feel a part of something broader and more important. The children would also be accountable for posting their own videos with ideas to prove that they are using this for appropriate reasons.
