School 2.o Reflection Tool NETS 5


These are the results from a quiz regarding Teacher's Technology use in the classroom.
NETS 5; evaluate and reflect on current research and professional practice.




The professional  response quiz  which was developed to help teachers self-assess their ability to integrate technology in their teaching.  It is based on the National Teachers' Technology standards.  As I had expected, I scored lowest in the standard five, Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.
One of the resources the site has listed to help in this area was http://www.edutopia.org.  This site is full of information and resources Which can be searched per grade level, which I love.
The second linked I explored was http://edtechideas.com/about/, (Ed Tech Ideas).  I love a site where someone lists many resources that have already been explored.  Keith Ferrell is the site's creator.  He is a Technology Integration Specialist at Singapore American School.  Things it included; comments on topics such as how children's sleep habits effect their learning and it's original pod cast (on NPR), links to educational game sites, as well as suggestions of great tools for the classroom.  One post titled, "Three great IWB Resources you're not Using", included a site for interactive the whiteboard, Promethean Planet (down loadable flip charts) and "TopMarks (includes grade level and subject area resources).
This is an easy, all inclusive site.  I will use this in my class room and even for my kids at home as well as for my professional development.
