Productivity and professional practice: Teachers use technology to enhance their productivity and professional practice.

 

A.     Use technology resources to engage in ongoing professional development and lifelong learning.

 

B.     Continually evaluate and reflect on professional practice to make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in support of student learning

 

C.     Apply technology to communicate and collaborate with peers, parents, and the larger community in order to nurture student learning.

 

A.      There are many resources available to enhance my teaching styles.  Some of these include search engines.  Search engines can help find the last minute touches that make an ordinary lesson into something students will remember forever.

B.      When I begin teaching, I will always have an idea in my head of how I want the lesson to work out.  I know that sometimes it won’t.  When it doesn’t work out, I’ll first go through everything I did and see what I can change.  If I am teaching another lesson right after the first one, I’ll try something different right away and then change the lesson plan around when I get home and write down the changes that worked the best; otherwise, I’ll just make the changes when I get home and try the lesson again the next year. 

 

C.      As a teacher, it is very important to keep in touch with parents.  I plan to write a newsletter for parents at least once a month to keep parents informed with what is going on in the classroom.  More than likely, I will keep a blog and post the letter there.  That way, parents can keep up to date with information at their own leisure.  If the resources are available, I would like to have an online discussion board where I can interact with the parents about how they think their children are learning.
