I believe that students and teachers use technology in the classroom for many different reasons. As a student, I have always learned more in class when we are not staring into a book. Some people are more of visual learners and understand what the teacher is talking about when they have a slide show or some kind of picture. Teachers understand this and have adapted to help the student as much as possible.

The ISTE standards help students prepare for the future and make sure that the student is getting all of the information out of what they are learning. I believe I am a computational thinker. I always come up with solutions and quick equations to solve problems and to set myself up for success. The ISTE standard I am the least skilled in it would have to be "innovative designer." I am not the best at designing new problems to make problems.

I believe the younger generations, including myself, are digital natives. A digital native would be someone who was brought up around technology, whether it be having a tablet at a young age or a game boy. There is a difference between teachers and students when it comes to technology, but not every "digital immigrant" knows the same amount about technology. Some are very tech savvy and others just do not know much about technology. The same goes for students as well. Some students can do many different things on a computer, but others have trouble saving a document. I believe students in the future will know a lot more about technology than I know at my age. No one knows exactly what technology will be available in the future, but I'm sure it will be far more advanced than the technology we have now.

    Not every "digital immigrant" knows the same amount of technology, and not every "digital native" knows the same amount of technology. So why would you believe students in the future will definitely know a lot more than you? In addition, you may not need that much amount of knowledge of any specific technology to solve a problem.

In the future I could use surveys to ask students questions. I can see if they are enjoying the sections we are covering in class. I can get feed back from the students very fast and east. I could also make it a quiz and have the students enter their name before taking the quiz. I can then see all of the different answers and other data. This could be done with grades of middle school and above. I found what my classmates thought was interesting when reading their blogs. They were able to explain what they learned and liked about different assignments we did in class. This also helped me relate to my classmates more and feel like I knew them better than before. I also liked being able to talk to them about their blogs when I got back to the classroom and discuss it with them. I would like to learn how to Photoshop next. I believe this would be a great technology-related skill to have for the future. I like making funny pictures with other peoples face on them or their body and beco...

ILP Tech Tool Box- Google Classroom

I have chosen Google classroom for this project. The reason behind me choosing this as an important ILP Tech Tool Box is because of the experience I have with the tool. Google Classroom is very reliable and extremely helpful. You can create a home for your class in minutes and upload work, questions and anything else you may want your students to learn. https://voicethread.com/share/11785928/

The flipped classroom takes out the in-class lectures. Instead of coming to class to hear the professor talk about the subject, the students watch them from home. Then, when they come to class, they can talk to the professor about any questions they might have and have a better understanding of what they are learning. I believe this would be the best classroom setting because students can get the help they need from the teacher and have time to discuss the problem.  Open educational resources are a very easy and effective way to find new information that you can use for your school work or projects. This takes out the need for a physical book, as you can just use the resources in the digital form.  https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/earth-atmospheric-and-planetary-sciences/12-090-the-environment-of-the-earths-surface-spring-2007/course-textbook/earthsurface_7.pdf   This is an informational resource I found for glaciers.
