SD+Tech+Standards+Report



In summary to this report I feel our school district has come a long why in covering technology standards across grade levels in the last couple of years with our enhancements in technology tools being offered and that we now have available to use. For my report I focused on third grade technology standards. I was a third grade teacher for seven years in our district before I became the third through fifth grade computer teacher and kindergarten through fifth grade technology integrationist. As an integrationist and computer teacher I work along with the teachers to make sure we care covering all of the South Dakota Technology Standards the best we can. I feel we are doing a pretty good job of this as I look over the report. I know there will always be more we can do as we enhance and learn as educators. Once we feel comfortable we can then pass our knowledge onto our students. It is nice that our district finally saw the need for a computer teacher but I still believe that integration is the key to a successful classroom. We can not think of technology as another thing to teach but to incorporate it into our other curriculum and subjects that are already being taught in the classroom.
