Class Websites: Class websites are a great communication tool that allows the teacher to communicate with parents, students, and the global community at large. These websites can be used to communicate basic information, such as the teacher’s background and classroom policies (Dunn, 2011, pg. 60-62). Different levels of complexity allow teachers to decide the purpose of the website and how much time needed

ICT resources are both an engaging and creative tool that can assist and expand on students learning. Technology pedagogical content and knowledge, or TPCK, is a concept that has developed in recent years due to the introduction of technology as a teaching tool in the classroom (Niess, M, 2005). Considering students also use technology in their daily lives, it can be a great way to help engage them and make the lesson interesting as well as informative. Creating an iMovie is just one of many ways a teacher can incorporate technology into a lesson. With many schools providing students with iPads in recent years, using technology as a teaching tool has become increasingly easier and more widely accepted. However, it has to be noted that TPCK requires teachers to be well educated in different areas of technology, aiming to build upon what they already know (Niess, M, 2005). Using technology in a day-to-day setting is completely different from using it as an educational tool, and teachers must be aware of the challenges they face integrating it into their

In addition to meeting with Mrs. Kozniewski, I had the opportunity to attend a couple workshops she presented. One was on the use of Google Classroom and the other one was on the updated version of PowerSchool called Power Teacher. Through other courses and a summer workshop attended, I had been exposed to Google forms, sheets, and other options Google has to offer. Google Classroom was new to me and I was excited to learn about it and look forward to using this technology in my classroom. The workshop gave information on how to log in, set up my classroom and save various forms to a specific class. PowerSchool is new to me. At the elementary level, I did not use this website. The workshop gave me the foundation to start entering my grades

This concept is Loewy’s “‘interdisciplinary curriculum for the digital age,’” and from this, education should change for the better. By highlighting important aspects of the program, Wong shows opposers and concerned parents the solutions to their worries. Danger on the internet will always be present, and it’s all a matter of understanding of how to interact with the internet. If students don’t know how to properly interact on the internet, of course, parents are going to have their concerns. This leads to the “fearmongering and massive information campaigns” over avoiding such issues, which wouldn’t be an issue if covered in school more in-depth. In addition, according to Wong, Loewy’s concept is not the first either, “University of Pennsylvania English Professor Kenneth Goldsmith launched a course [in 2015] called ‘Wasting Time on the Internet,’” where it teaches students how to use technology appropriately, and use it to their advantage of gaining knowledge, rather than wilting it away with societal norms. Therefore, digital citizenship becomes vital if technology is to be a part of education, which Wong thrives in informing her

As a digital immigrant, it takes a lot of effort form me to keep abreast of the latest advances in technology. Digital Native students utilize technology often in order to socialize with friends and complete projects. Teachers need to thoughtfully determine what technology applications are most effective and enhance instruction (Hammonds, Matherson, Wilson and Wright, 2013). By staying focused on student engagement and learning, teachers should find websites, application and programs that align with these goals.

Digital citizenship teaches students how to operate safely ethically online while acting respectful to others online. Respect online also extends to respecting “fair use” and copyright guidelines. To be good digital citizens, students need to understand the good citizenship rules. However, to be truly responsible and effective digital citizens, digital literacy is crucial. Students who are good digital citizens will have background to avoid plagiarism and to respect copyright and intellectual property rights. Teaching Digital citizenship principles teach students to respect others online. Good digital citizenship and cyberbullying are incompatible.

A leader must first of all be able to model the techniques and processes that they want their teachers to employ with the students. For this reason leaders should use an effective board spectrum of educational tools to help teachers reach students of the 21st century. One of the great tools being used today is the increase in the amount of technology used in the classroom. From iPad to chromo books to cellphones teachers are using these forms of technology to enhance and deliver grade level curriculum (Korach, Agans 2011 216-233).

Teaching and learning in the 21st century develop skills beyond listening, watching and remembering. Education in the 21st century incorporates advanced learning tools, development of skills, while actively involved in your own learning and environment. Also, education today is motivating while inspiring and preparing students for today’s world. Students gain the ability to adapt when needed for the changing world of tomorrow. Twenty-first century education is understanding how students learn with a more hands-on approach while building skills. However, the ‘4C’s creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration’ (Kolk, 2011) are skills that are important for students learning. Therefore, they can actively consume and create data and knowledge in ways that deliver substance and relevance to them (Bolstad, Gilbert, McDowall, Bull, Boyd & Hipkins, 2012; Watson, 2012). Clearly, the classroom in the 21st century is a modern environment. This modern environment consisting of little groups of tables placed together for students to sit and learn together as well as discuss what they are doing. Meanwhile, displaying student’s art to decorate the classroom has a sense of pride. Above all, the classroom has visible items as an interactive whiteboard, Internet access, projector and computers, accessible for student and teachers daily.

The Internet plays a key role in the development of education. According to past research findings, 72% of adolescents surveyed reported using the Internet for school objectives and nearly all of them go online daily (Norris, 2007). Additionally, many interviewed teenagers and parents reported that Internet use is vital to complete school projects. Adolescents need to be educated on how to maximize the legitimacy and safety of online information. Adolescents awareness of the potential impact from internet use and exposure is a
