Week 3 Chapter 4 (Assgn 2a)

1. Identify what is meant by technology to learn to use technology literacy for the twenty-first century.

Everyday our country is coming up with new ways of integrating technology in our academic system. As a teacher and school staff personnel its our responsibility to step up and keep up with the times. Because our world today is operating on electronics its vital to integrate basic technological knowledge into our curriculum. In the simplier days, teachers only needed to make sure the students left with the knowledge of how to read, write and hold a pencil. But, because of our evoloving country its vital to teach our students the basics of technology because after all are we as teachers getting our students ready for the real world?

2. Why is it that if the NETS wants students to be knowledgeable in technology when why don't they provide school districs with the appropriat funding?

3. My teaching experience was in a third world country. When I taught computer class I made sure my students (kindergarten) knew how to turn on the computer open word document and write simple sentences.
