= Hello Monroe County Teachers!! = = This wiki is designed for you based on the results of our technology survey. Here you will find files, websites, and many other things that will help your students effectively use technology to communicate and do many other great things! The links for the survey as well as the results are listed below. = = [|Technology Survey Link] = = = = I also want to include that I am basing my work from the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE). I already know that we use a great amount of technology in our classrooms. The focus of this is to make sure that students are using the technology as well to present their ideas to not just the classroom but to the outside world as well. = =The next piece of information comes directly from the ISTE site:= It is critical to use and integrate computers into the classroom and the student learning environment for these reasons: • Being able to use technology is a prerequisite for success in the global and digital economy of the 21 st century. Try to imagine any profession that does not rely on some level of expertise with technology. • The computer extends learning beyond the school’s four walls—computers can move with the student from the classroom to the library to the home, extending a teacher’s reach and making learning opportunities ubiquitous. • Computers and the Internet provide a vast library of resources: informational, computational, and cultural. Computers bring the resources of the world to learners. • The use of computers and the Internet in the classroom allows students to collaborate with other students, educators, and experts in the field. • Technology tools help teachers enrich their lessons with multimedia to address auditory, kinesthetic, and visual modes of learning. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'LFEBNP+TimesNewRoman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">This wiki is going to be broken down into pages for easy navigation. I hope you find it helpful. A wiki is also a tool that you all can add too. If you have a great resourse please share it with us!!
