=National Educational Technology Standards For Teachers=

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

 * **Promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness**
 * Assign a series of real-life problems that involves a single content area in Mathematics, such as Algebra or Geometry. The students will make a portfolio of all of the problems and have to present it in front of a class. In order to get a good grade for the projects, students will have to use Math websites to create graphs, diagrams and tables in order to present the solutions of the problems in an understandable way. Students have a free range of what they can do with the project. They are able to make booklets, posters, or whatever they can think of to make their project as innovative as possible.
 * **Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes**
 * Allow students to use Mathematical websites in order to understand conceptual problems. These websites would have three dimensional programs that would show the graphs or images that pertain to the problem. These programs will allow for the students to get clarity on concepts to understand them better.

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments

 * **Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources**
 * Vary the type of lesson plans that are performed in the classroom. One class, there may be a lesson with notes on the Smartboard. The teacher can guide the lesson and allow students to come up and solve problems using the Smartboard so they can experience learning to use the technology while also learning the subject. The next day the class could work on group worksheets that require the use of websites, programs, and other technology. The lesson plans will vary from day to day all while still incorporating technology.
 * **Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching**
 * ** Vary the types of assessments that are given in the classroom. Students can be given in-class free response test, take home test, group tests, online tests, or group/ individual presentations of a subject. All of these assessments will test not only the subject matter but also tests the students' ability to use technology. **

3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning

 * **Collaborate with students, peers, parents and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation**
 * Use Wikis that everyone has access to look at. Students and the teacher are the only ones that are allowed to update the page. There are assignments and presentations that are assigned on the Wiki and students must keep up with the work. Parents have the ability to look at the Wiki to make sure that their child has done the work.
 * **Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats**
 * Use e-mail to communicate with parents to keep them updated about their child's progress in the classroom. Also use e-mail to contact peers and co-workers about goings on in the classroom. Online gradebooks are also effective tools to use for both parents and students. Both can access and look at recently updated grades to keep up with child's work and progress.

**4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility**

 * **Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources**
 * Make sure that all borrowed and used worksheets, tests, and books all have proper copyrights on them. All websites and programs used in projects and lectures must be documented so the children know where the information is coming from. Make sure all students know that the websites and sources they use in projects must be documented so credit can be given to them. Punish those that disobey the necessary citations.
 * **Promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information**
 * Use websites appropriately as learning tools for the students. Explain all of the processes that happen on the website so that the students understand. Make sure all students are using appropriate websites and are not compromising the integrity of any website.
