Reading the National Standards, I have gathered that teachers use their prior knowledge to engage with the students and teach them new things. They incorporate technology into their teaching to keep up with the ever changing world. The teachers and students need to stay current on the new technologies. Technology provides great tools for learning. Teachers have to teach the children the proper techniques and rules of using the technology. Technology is constantly changing, so teachers have to stay up to date with what is going on in the world. Altogether, Teachers use technology to teach on a day to day basis. The students, along with the teachers, are learning new things everyday.


As a teacher I would use different types of technology to work with the students. I would work with PowerPoint often and also with the Internet in general. Children need to learn about all of the advancements. I also would like to use the new style over head projectors because the students can see exactly how I am doing something. If I incorporate all of this into the learning process the children will learn in new effective ways.
