Some ELA technology standards that have already helped me with my knowledge to teach are, " Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) in order to address a question or solve a problem." This one is because it helped me broaden how to present my information in new ways that will keep my students entertained but discovering new ways to learn. Another standard that already helps me is, " Use technology, including the Internet , to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information." This helped me learn how to perform accurate research and then implement it into my own work. One standard that I still need to work on is, " Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findi...

Through out my years school so far MS Word has played a fairly large role in my education. Though, for a while in HS my school strictly used google docs so we stopped our use of MS Word, even though the two are pretty similar. Most of my teachers enjoyed Word more then Docs because they had used Word their whole career and had to change it to adjust to the new rules in my school district.  Coming to college there was a shift for me since I hadn't really used Word in HS and now most of my teachers prefer Word and make us turn papers in in a certain Word format. My HS was very strict when it came to copyright and citing where we got our info from. We had an academic integrity rule about copying but also citations and using turnitin.com for our papers. Coming to FSU the two weeks of my English class was primarily focused on teaching us how to properly cite and covered the rules of FSU regarding copyright. As a teacher I think that these rules are a hassle but they're necessary f...

What influences teachers/students to use technology in the classroom varies per person, year, location, etc. For most teachers they're guided by the ITSE standards for the use of technology in the class room and attempting to meet the common core standards for each year. There are also times where teachers are forced to use technology in certain concepts or have students where technology has to be used to assist in teaching. Students are influenced to use technology in the classroom by teachers giving them assignments such as a powerpoint, google docs, edmodo, etc. Also, today in technology some students (such as myself) prefer to use technology for things, such as notes, rather then paper and pen.  As someone hopefully going into education the ISTE standards are of major interest to me. One standard that is meaningful to me is, " Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act...
