Week 6

•What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
What goals are you still working toward?

I have been able to use several technology tools to help my students share their understanding. I have used movie making and podcasting to have students share their ideas. I still need to do more work at sharing finished products. Learning more about blogs and or websites will be helpful.

•Based on the NETS-T, what new learning goals will you set for yourself?
If you are not ready to set new learning goals, how will you extend what you have learned so far?

Where I am right now, I don't feel that I can set any new goals for the current year. I know that I have not totally completed my goals from this course but I will continue them next year. My two goals address many of the NETS-T standards. When I work towards using technology to help foster students creativity and using technology as an assessment tool I will be also working on teacher standards. To be quite honest I will be working on all five standards. (Fostering creativity, digit-age experiences and assessments, digital-age work, digital responsibility and professional growth).

•What learning approaches will you try next time to improve your learning?

I think that if the school year was at a different point I would have been able to address my goals with more success. Due to this fact, I am going to continue to work on my goals over the summer and implement them in the fall as an ongoing process.
