Moduel+4+Reflection

**__ Description __**** : ** The readings for this module were Technology Facilitation and Leadership Book chapter 3, The Digital Curriculum, and about the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. **__ Impact __**** : ** From what I read I learned more about the role of technology in terms of assessment. My students take online assessments so teachers and parents could see their growth. It’s a lot easier then pencil/paper tests. After reading about the Digital Curriculum and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills I realized that it is important to include the use of technology in my lessons. I sometimes just run out of time. My kids are so needy and low that it seems like they need other thing more important than technology right now. My students are from grades 1, 2 and 3. Half can’t even read or identify letters yet. I need some help with this. Like most teachers my students take their assessments on the computers and then it’s back to work. I’m struggling in this area L   **__ Intent: __** I intend to be more of a visionary. I want to try and find software or other technological tools that I can integrate into my classroom.
