The example I decided to go with for this week's assignment was Collaborative Learning Entry Level. This activity would correspond to everyday use in classrooms all over the world as collaborative learning is essential to today's teaching and learning. Technology can be confusing, but it is a very important part of the classroom. With Collaborative Learning something difficult such as new technology can become easier, making it a great resource.
Collaborative Learning exhibits traits from NETS For Teachers and can take a small piece from all five. Both Students and Teachers can take good advice from Collaborative Learning. In addition students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
At this point in the semester I would say Adaption and Infusion are my levels of comfort. I am a fan of using creativity and not being afraid to "not follow the crowd". Technology gives a good way to have someone express their own thoughts and take initiative when trying to learn a new topic. This was a good assignment to help compare and analyze a few things we might have already read about. Again a very informative assignment.
Good to see that you understand that technology is a tool for expression.
