I believe that just the simple fact of how modern the world is now is why teachers and students are so into technology. Technology has many pros and it has many cons. It makes the world so much easier for us all. Technology helps us to learn many new things and in many different ways actually.
I definitely agree with and think that all of the ISTE standards for educators are great. I completely believe that the learner standard is most meaningful to me. I feel as though it is extremely important for teachers to be willing to learn from administration, students, other teachers, parents, and many more sources. I feel that the standard that is outside of my skill set is the designer standard.
I agree with the term digital native to a certain extent. Yes, I do believe that assertions are true for the most part. However, I do not believe that all of the assumptions are completely true. Being a digital native just was something natural for me. It has its pros and it has its cons. When it came to my teachers in high school and my college professors it’s half and half. Many of them tend to be digital natives just like me, however some of them would indeed be considered digital immigrants. Some were extremely experienced and some of them needed lots of help. Either way my experiences were great. We all were able to learn from each other. I am a native when it comes to technology and I am sure that my students will be to. However, I am sure that there will always be plenty of things for us to lean from each other each and every day.
