Technology Self Assessment: School 2.0

    NETS III, IV, V
I took this online assessment to establish an understanding of the NETS requirements.                                      
 I chose to investigate NETS-S 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity because I think it is very important for students to use their creativity in the classroom and also out in the real world. I believe that children express themselves through creativity and their own use of imagination. They are able to construct knowledge and develop inventive products, in which they learn to use outside of the classroom. The link that I chose to explore was very interesting and a great idea to connect with the world. It is called “Rock Our World”, which is an international collaboration. It connects students on every continent through collaborative global projects. As a team, students and teachers compose music, movies, and even live video chats with people all around the globe. Each season they have different challenges, including games with different subjects along with music and art. This is the perfect way to collaborate together to make something for everyone to share and learn effectively. Not only are these students learning something new each day, but they are also able to connect with people from different cultural backgrounds. After searching through this link I learned that Technology can be integrated in so many different ways and this method is especially efficient. It is not only fun for everyone to connect with each other, but they are also learning new techniques about technology by collaboratively working together.
