If you want to use technology or if you are already using them ; keep doing it but, are you setting standards for your classes?
No matter what tools you are using in order to implement technology in the classroom, it is very important to set standards when using technology in your classrooms and some of them are: to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, decision making, and daily life.
In order to accomplished these goals; our students could use a variety of media and technology resources for directed and independent learning activities. For example in my classes using internet has given my students opportunities to use educational software , E-books , demos to practice activities on-line and others to support learning. However, it is very important to teach our students how to use these resources effectively so they could have choices for their own learning and help them being autonomous learners.
So, If you haven’t; start thinking of standards as your assistant for achieving goals when implementing technology in your classes.

Interesting...i think that our whole education system would be better if we only had standars. But i think now we should first focus on implemneting technology correctly, then use it as a support for our classes and not as the main thing, and then then think about standars.
Hi - How have you used e-books in your class? How did your activities connect to the standards? Karen
