Journal 10

     As a teacher, I will use data collections for a variety of reasons. In high school ESE life skills, it would be very useful to collect information on my students and their disabilities from their caregivers. I could find out the student's IQ, what life skills they practice at home, what triggers their behaviors, and what redirects their behaviors. I could also collect data from students about what they want to learn. 

    I have not yet reviewed classroom blogs, I will update when I have.

Knowing what my students know at the beginning of the school year, and comparing it periodically, would help me improve lesson plans. It would help me know what my lessons need to focus more or less on. I will achieve this goal by planning what I will test on, how often to test, and how to implement results into my teaching.

The standard as a whole is important for all educators, as it creates a way to engage students through interactive technology and make learning more fun.     I agree with the concept of a digital native. A digital native is someone born into the age of technology, and th...
