#8.Describe learning situation that illustrates the difference betwn technology that is integrated into a lesson and tech thats tacked on a lesson.ch5

The difference between integrating technology and tacking technology onto an assignment is fairly easy recognize. Research is a good example of integrating technology into an assignment. For example, you may want your students to become proficient in community activities offered in their area. The students will have forty five minutes to surf the web for activities in the community. This lesson directly increases the skills of using technology and social awareness. An example of tacking on technology would be, have your students read a book and write an essay about the assignment using two resources. The student then has a "choice" of using the web to locate the second resource. However, the assignment is not soley based on the use of that form of technology.

#3. Why are technology standards and profiles for teachers and students necessary (Chapt. 2)?

Technology standards and profiles are necessary for teachers and students for many differnt reasons. According to ISTE, the NETS have served as roadmap since 1998 for improved teaching and learning by educators. Standards help to measure proficiency and set goals for the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to succeed. The CEO of ISTE has been quoted as saying, "Teachers must become comfortable as co-learners with their students and with colleagues around the world. Today it is less about staying ahead and more about moving ahead as members of dynamic learning communities. The digital-age teaching professional must demonstrate a vision of technology infusion and develop the technology skills of others. These are the hallmarks of the new education leader."—Don Knezek
