One of our Course Objectives is the following: “create and evaluate instructional approaches that align with PA standards and implement effective learning techniques and educational technology.”
In this class, we explore the role of technology in Early Education. Post by Saturday and reply to 2 peers by Tuesday.
You might be thinking, “WHAT type of technology is out there that my students can use?” Instead, I challenge you to ask this WHY USE TECHNOLOGY??
1. Explore this poster of the 7 Standards from the International Society for Technology in Education.
Note the 7 categories of standards and name one you expected and one you were surprised to see.
2. Explore ONE of the 7 categories here to learn more and tell us what you found. How would you explain it to a parent?

3. FIND a digital tool to meet one of those goals.
Go to the page below for Common Sense Media and see what it has to offer. Choose a grade (1, 2, or 3) and choose a subject. See what the website suggests and spend a few minutes exploring a resource. Which ISTE goal does it meet?
