NETS- Standard 2 Digital-Age Learning Culture.


 * Educational Administrators create, promote, and sustain a dynamic, digital-age learning culture that provides a rigorous, relevant, and engaging education for all students.**

Educational Administrators:

a. ensure instructional innovation focused on continuous improvement of digital-age learning b. model and promote the frequent and effective use of technology for learning c. provide learner-centered environments equipped with technology and learning resources to meet the individual, diverse needs of all learners d. ensure effective practice in the study of technology and its infusion across the curriculum e. promote and participate in local, national, and global learning communities that stimulate innovation, creativity, and digital-age collaboration

Brody Hamel NETS-A Standard 2a: I feel that movie-maker would be a great instructional tool for administrators to model to teachers. Through the movie-maker process administrators could create a video that shows the benefits that it would have for visual learners. A training process would then take place so that the staff could use it in their classroom.

Heidi Faivre NETS-A Standard 2b : The big six would help administrators model and promote the frequent and effective use of technology for learning. By using the outline of the Big Six, administrators could model and promote how they researched the information and made sure their information was accurate. Staff could then develop the Big Six practice and incorporate it into their classrooms for their students.

Jim Struyk NETS-A Standard 2 D: This year we are commissioning a new piece for band and choir. Using SKYPE Technologies, the composer can be brought into the classroom to discuss his work. A blog can be set up for students to discuss the work and to ask questions for the composer.

D: Departments can collaborate on cross curricular units using google docs and wiki. By writing out topics using a wiki format, teachers can articulate on their approaches to topics in a unit.

Ryan Schrader NETS-A Standard 2a: Setting up a Wiki would be a great teaching tool for all teachers an opportunity to communicate with each other. A wiki would be an excellent tool for P.E teachers to not only communicate with other teachers in the district about lessons, ideas, and curriculum, but we could also set up a wiki for other P.E teachers in other districts and we would have the opportunity to communicate ideas with other teachers.

Eric Pertiet: NETS-A Standard 2c: Provide an introduction of accessable datdbases to learners. Expose students to professional articles and summaries, along with precited articles.

Reggie Kennedy NETS-A Standard 2a: A wiki group would be great way for teachers to collaberate with each other and share innovative lesson ideas.

Carri Oslager: 2 C: Providing students the computers to access websites, do research and compile information in one location could really change the way we teach. (As it should) Even though kids are more tech-savvy, our education system is still behind the times. I think using a wiki to allow students to share information, and compile ideas for group work could be really helpful. The downside to this is lack of person-to-person interaction, which students also need to be productive in the future. Each studnet being given a laptop is costly but a sure-fire way to allow for diverse-learners to meet their needs. (or just make sure there are enough computers for student access at all times.)

Mike Jacobs NETS-A 2a.: The technology we used in class on Monday would be a great way for the students and the teacher to meet this standard as well as teach the lesson. The studnets would do a project that involved a video camera, camera, movie maker or any video/slide show program that allowd full studnet creativity. The studnets could have a a rubric and allowed a variety of ways to create the assignment. This would work in any class from PE to science as well as cover learning and technology standards.

Ryan Schrader NETS 2B: model and promote the frequent and effective use of technology for learning. After learning about movie maker and audacity in class on monday, I thought it would be a great way to show students how they could create their own movie as a class. This would be a great teaching tool for students to be able to make their own movie by dividing the class into small groups. Each group would come up with their own movie and use a video camera, or a digital camera and create their own movie. Each group would have the opportunity to show what they have learned about movie maker and then show how they went about making their movie. Each group would then present their movie to the class to show what they learned. I would come up with certain criteria that they would have to meet and then they would meet those expectations during their movie. I believe that this would be an excellent way for students to show their creativity side while working in a group environment and make their own movie for the class to see.

Betsy Smith NETS-A 2C: "...provide learner-centered environments equipped with technology and learning resources to meet the individual, diverse needs of all learners." I see this standard being realized in the classroom through the use of asynchronous centers. Using the movie maker and audacity technology, a teacher would be able to create a personalized lesson for each student, at his/her own learning level. I see this technology as very useful and applicable to a wide range of grade levels.

Scott Gaffke NETS-A 2B: An administrator could make a welcome back video to be presented to staff at the beginning of a new school year using the windows movie maker and audacity programs in combination. The video could be used to motivate staff and describe such things as the goals and expectations for the coming year or discuss any new initiatives, etc. By using these programs in combination to make a video for the staff it would model and promote the effective use of technology. Showing such a video would say to staff that this administrator is technologically savvy and we better be as well. An administrator could make other videos throughout the year that communicate various messages about school climate, ISAT test preparation, RTI, PLCs and more.

Jessica Brown NETS-A 2E:e. promote and participate in local, national, and global learning communities that stimulate innovation, creativity, and digital-age collaboration... As an Administrator you could upload important information you learned at a conference. Instead of presenting information in a meeting, you could post it to a video and send it out in a presentation format that you have edited out any useless information.
