1. Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
a. Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
b. Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
c. Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
d. Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments
My Progress Towards this Standard:
Evidence 1: Symbaloo
Symbaloo is a great tool that helps students have their needed resources in one spot to model collaboration. By engaging in what they are learning, students and teachers alike are able to explore different websites they might not have known before while working together to do their school work. It also helps parents and teachers keep track of the different websites the students are using!
Evidence 2: Kidspiration
This is a great way for student's to share and show off their work through planning. By showcasin this knowledge, they are supported for modelling creativity. This also helps students engage in research and learning about the main topic they are planning out, to the point which they can proudly show off their hard work.
Evidence 3: Instructional Video
This tool helps students learn to deal with innovative thinking. Through an instructional video, we have to support the students through their own unique way of creating and developing their thought process, and as we do so we engage the students in exploring real life issues by being apart of one. The next day, after watching the video, also calls for a reflection of some kind.
2. Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the Standards•S.
a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress
c. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
d. Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards, and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching
My Progress Towards this Standard:
Evidence 1: Plickers Activity
Plisckers is a fun and unique way to run the classroom, allowing students to think and answer using technology. By having an answer key with them, and having to hold them a certain way, they stay involved in the learning while the teacher is able to keep them engaged and thus enhances their expeience. This also helps them develop a technological experience with their early childhood, and from there can move up as they mature,
Evidence 2: Powtoon
This is a personalized learning activity that helps students address whatever it is they need. Using it as a way to greet my students was an innovative way to let them get to know me before they got the chance to meet me, and was able to get a message through. Using Powtoon also means that the students get to use a new platform and explore their creative side as we guide them through a stimulation.
Evidence 3: Stations Activity
The stations activity was especially difficult but enriching. It helped me adapt relevant learning experience and promoted learning about new technological tools. Since everyone had different majors, the stations were all created depending on what each person wanted to teach, which helped personalize the learning experience. With the ending result we got many forms of assessment, also, which helped us to be able to learn how to read data properly.
3. Model digital age work and learning
Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.
a. Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
b. Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation
c. Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital age media and formats
d. Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning
My Progress Towards this Standard:
Evidence 1: Newsletter
This follows along greatly with point 'c', in the fact that this was a great and quick way to make a newsletter for students and parents alike. Sending this out to communicate information would be quick and easy, and what I love most about this is that it saves paper and helps move technology within the classroom in a small but impactful motion.
Evidence 2: Teacher Website
Our Teacher Website is a great learning tool for colleague's, student's, and parents so that we can collaborate and work together for the student's success. It helps everyone to connect to the teacher and understand what the teacher islike while also helping them understand exactly what they are getting ready to step foot into, and they have a chance to look at all the technological tools they will be using, or potentially using, throughout the year.
Evidence 3: Storify
This technological tool is a great way for student's and teachers to collaborate together and share their ideas. What I love most about this tool is that it is not restricting to one area of subject, but allows for the creater to pick and choose exactly what they want to talk aboutand put relevant information in there according to what they want. This helps transfer current knowledge of technological and real life situations onto one board for people to read.
4. Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility
Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices.
a. Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources

Evidence 3: Infographic on Technology Use
This is agreat way for student's to learn proper technological use in the classroom, and how we can do that. We as educators are able to quickly and easily set up guidelines for the classroom, which makes it easier to help them grow responsibility online, something I really love.
5. Engage in professional growth and leadership
