B. demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies.
Reflection:
Last week we learned how to make web pages and use them in the classroom. I think this applies to standard 1 in the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards. It shows that the teacher is literate in areas of technology. It also leaves room for continual growth. When working with a web page, teachers can always add things to it and it is always changing so the teachers can make it better. I really think that this would be a great thing for all teachers to learn. They can put their lessons in a lesson plan and also keep a calendar on their website for the students to keep up with their assignments. Students could also get on the Internet and to check on previous things they have learned. I believe it is beneficial for teachers to stay up to date with technology and be learned in technology.

Future Learning Goals:
I believe that technology operations and concepts are very important things for students to learn and for teachers to apply. Teachers should know how to appropriately use technology and how to apply it to their teaching strategies. I want to learn more about technology and always learn more ways to incorporate it into the lessons that I teach the students. I want to always be taking classes to better myself in technology after I start teaching. I believe that all teachers should know how to use the latest forms of technology so they can incorporate it into their teaching and teach it to their students.
