For my NETS-T module I chose #2: Reflection results for NETS-T Module: Design and Develop Digital Age learning Experiences and Assessments. I read the first article; Too Cool for School? No way! Using the TPACK Framework: You Can Have Your Hot Tools and Teach with Them Too. When we look at new technology toys most people look at them as cool new toys, but as educators we wonder how these cool toys can be used for teaching. Technology to most people is products that have appeared after we were born. As I was reading they made it a point to say that everything is technology. Everything is some how linked to technology. In the article it gives three examples of technology that can be repurposed for educational ends are microblogging, visual search engines, and music DJ software. These three things were developed by a team of Punya Mishra's graduate students. Microblogging for example as twitter is used to complement face to face discussion in a classroom. Specialized search engines are particularly visual search engines, such as Vewzi, Cuil, and Clusty to help students understand intertextuality. DJ software can be used o teach mathematical concepts such as ratios, fractions, and percentages. I found this article very interesting and was interesting in the three ways they had it all planned out. I chose this article because with technology you can always use it in your classroom and I believe it is very important to stay updated on all the latest trends. Technology is advancing daily and as teachers we need to make sure to offer our students the best information we can give.
