My goal with regard to the NET Standards is for my young students to begin to develop a healthy appreciation and positive attitude toward technology. I want them to begin to understand how powerful technology is and that we need to be responsible for how we use these digital tools. I always love it when my students collaborate on a project and these tools allow for exciting, interactive work that goes well beyond what I have used in the past. It is exciting to share with the students and watch them embrace new ways to share information. I also love that they will be able to go home, hop on our wiki and show their parents what we did in class and work that has been posted. This may still be more of a website for parents but it will showcase their hard work and collaboration in new ways.
