Technology Self-Assessment: School 2.0

The Nets T- standard that I felt I needed to improve on included, but is not limited to,Standard I (Facilitation and Inspiration of Student Creativity).The teacher resources provided under Standard I included Bloom's Digital Taxonomy. Specific ICT tools included ideas for mind mapping, videos, projects, timelines, spreadsheets, and presentations. For example, mind mapping technology tools included information and link to:  Free mind, Kidspiration, and Mind Manager. Incorporating an ICT tool weekly would allow for access to multiple resources as well as provide students with the ability to integrate curriculum and technology while differentiating to meet individual student needs.
