Model Digital-Age Work and Learning

Standard #3

"Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society."

Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation
Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats
Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning

Modeling digital-age work and learning by using the TPACK method, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, I am introducing and building students skills through 21st century learning technology. This demonstrates my knowledge skills, and work processes as an innovative professional.

As a teacher, I can model my fluency in technology systems by introducing search engines to my class and teaching my students how to responsibly use the web. Also, this opens up the opportunity to show students the appropriate search engines to locate accurate information.

The following link connects to a website listing several lesson ideas for using internet search engines in a safe way for students: Lesson Ideas - Internet Search.

Chapter 6: Social Bookmarking Site

A social bookmarking site is a place where you can access creative lessons and provide learning resources to students. A popular social bookmarking website today is Pinterest. The information and creativity on Pinterest are unlimited.

I have included some boards on clouds and storm systems.
