NETs for Teachers. Retrieved October 28, 2009 from: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">There are several similarities between the older and newer NET Standard lists. The student lists are almost identical both discussing similar topics. In fact, both lists have the same six points to make. The updated version has just been rearranged and added to. All six topics have been reworded and clarified somewhat. The updated student topics include: 1)Creativity and Innovation, 2)Communication and Collaboration, 3)Research and Information Fluency, 4)Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making, 5)Digital Citizenship, & 6)Technology Operations and Concepts. They may have been rearranged and listed in order of importance, but that hasn’t been indicated. The original descriptions were very general and the new standards reflect more in-depth concerns. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">Next the ISTE included a list of standards geared primarily towards the teachers utilizing technology. The new list for teachers mirrors the list for students where the teacher is expected to facilitate for what they students are supposed to be learning. In other words the teacher’s standards are in place to insure the teachers are teaching the students what they need to know to meet the student standards. Therefore many of the teacher standards are the same as the student standards because to teach something one has to understand it. Both teacher lists include that the teacher needs to understand and convey the issues that correspond with technology. However the older list seems to focus primarily on how the teacher should use technology in the classroom for his/her own benefit. In the newer list the standards focus on the teacher using technology in the classroom to benefit the students and to further their knowledge of technology and its uses. This can be seen in the newer list when the standard encourage the teacher to model proper behavior rather than just letting the students figure it out on their own. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">In the communication model there is always a sender and an intended receiver. Each party has their own world that is formed by their own unique experiences and so they will read and decode things in different ways. With this in mind, the two will have something in common for communication to take place. This is called the shared space. The shared space is where the sending and receiving takes place. There is usually more then one type of communication going on when two people are speaking. There is verbal communication when two people are talking, and body language or non-verbal communication. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; msobidifontfamily: Tahoma; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">In an educational setting communication is essential. If lines of communication aren’t crisp and clear, learning does not take place. Technology enhances communication with tools like email and Moodle to help parents and students stay current on homework and other class or school activities. Smart Boards are another neat piece of technology in classrooms today. The teacher’s computer screen is projected on to the Smart Board.

It is responsible for handling all instructions and calculation it receives from other hardware components in the computer and software programs running on the computer. CPU is the brain of the computer--it is the 'compute' in computer. Modern CPU's are what are called 'integrated chips'. The idea of an integrated chip is that several processing components are integrated into a single piece of silicon. Without the CPU, you have no computer. The CPU is composed of thousands (and soon billions) of transistors. Each transistor is a set of inputs and outputs. When the inputs receive electricity, the combined charge changes the state of the transistor internally and you get a result out the other side. This is what makes it possible for the computer to count and perform logical operations, all of which we call //processing.// <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';

Some of these components are the CPU, RAM, hard drive, mother board, monitor, input/output devices, and many more. Each component has a specific function that without, the computer would not function properly or efficiently. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: #434343; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: #434343; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The CPU is the central processing unit. It is the most powerful micro processing chip in a computer. The speed at which the CPU is measured is giga hertz (billions of cycles per second). The CPU performs stored instructions called programs. These programs are either pre-loaded on a computer or downloaded in some way. The CPU can be coined as “the brain” of a computer. There are four terms that are used to describe the work that a CPU does. The first is “fetch” which does exactly what one might think, this is when the CPU retrieves an instruction. Next is “decode”. This is when the CPU interprets the numerical sequence it has fetched and determines what action is to be taken. Third is “execute”. This is the step in which different parts of the CPU are connected in order to carry out the desired task. Lastly, the CPU performs a task called Writeback. The Writeback phase simply communicates what has been done to some form of memory storage. Writeback more or less just records what has been done throughout the previous steps. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: #434343; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: #434343; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">RAM, or random access memory, is the hardware inside your computer that keeps a record of the work you are doing while you are doing it. It is important to understand that RAM is not a permanent memory bank. every time the computer is shut off the RAM is lost. RAM can differ in size, type, and speed depending on the motherboard. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

Input devices include keyboards, a mouse, a mic, or a scanner. Input devices are things that relay information into the computer. Output devices include printers, monitors, and speakers. Output devices are anything that take information from a computer and put it into the world. Lastly is the monitor. The monitor is an output device that allows the user to see what he or she is doing, it's a lot like a T.V. screen but it is also interactive. There are also touch screen monitors in which case it would be considered both an input and output device. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

It is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer. The operating system acts as a host for <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> applications that are run on the machine. As a host, one of the purposes of an operating system is to handle the details of the operation of the hardware. This relieves application programs from having to manage these details and makes it easier to write applications. Almost all computers, including handheld computers, desktop computers , supercomputers , and even video game consoles , use an operating system of some type. Some of the oldest models may however use an embedded operating system that may be contained on a compact disk or other data storage device. All desktop computers have operating systems. There are hundreds of other operating systems available for special-purpose applications, including specializations for mainframes, robotics, manufacturing, real-time control systems and so on. For other devices, an operating system creates the ability to serve a variety of purposes, interact with users in more complicated ways, and keep up with needs that change over time. Operating systems offer a number of services to application programs and users. Applications access these services through application programming interfaces.

An application program is any program designed to perform a specific function directly for the user or, in some cases, for another application program. Examples of application programs include word processors, database programs, Web browsers, development tools, drawing, paint, and image editing programs, and communication programs. Application programs use the services of the computer's operating system and other supporting programs. The formal requests for services and means of communicating with other programs that a programmer uses in writing an application program is called the application program interface. Application programs are also any data entry, update, query or report program that processes data for the user. It includes the generic productivity software as well as custom and packaged programs for payroll, billing, inventory and other accounting purposes.

Administrative software can range from the simple ways to store data to a very complex model that can manage everything that takes place. Over the past few years administrative software has become especially valuable to school districts. It can provide scheduling calendars for the administration, teachers, and students as well as managing grades, attendance, and finances. Some administrative software even has the capability to provide communication between teachers, parents, students, and administrators regarding grades, assignments, and even discipline reports. Because these software systems range in complexity, the price ranges as well. Most websites for the administrative software companies require school districts to apply for a quotation on costs. It is important for school administrators to select the best software for their particular school district based on size, needs of the district, costs, and availability of updates, although software is always being updated. Included in the top rated administrative software at this time are Skyward Software, Ren Web, Time Clock Plus, Dynamic Data Conceptions, and Focus School Software. Spam blocker software, which is considered to be administrative software, must be provided on district computers. There are many types of administrative software that can help school districts manage their institutions in a more efficient and cost effective manner. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">2. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Provide detailed information on <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Academic ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Software **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Academic software is similar to administrative software in that there are many programs to choose from and it is used to enhance education. This software is used primarily by students and may overlap the academic and administrative areas. Gearfire is one type of academic software that is a newsletter and blog that helps improve student organization and productivity. This site allows students to share advice, chat with tutors, read study tips, and complete practice quizzes. Gearfire can also send periodic progress reports to parents. Other academic software includes programs like Microsoft Office Student and Adobe which are used in the classroom (JourneyED). Basic Math Solver 2008 and Citation 9 Student Edition is similar to Microsoft Office Student but is subject-matter specific. These applications provide students with extra practice and template that they can use in their content area courses. PBwiki is an academic software program that allows students to collaborate with each other. Many programs also provide students with interactive practice including manipulations which can increase understanding and retention in the classroom. Using content area specific games, such as Math Blaster, provides more engaged practice for students (CNET Reviews). Academic software is important because it allows students to build on the knowledge base they already have and also enables them to explore technology in a controlled setting. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"> 3. How can you evaluate software for teaching and learning? <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Evaluating software for teaching and learning is crucial for programs which integrate technology in the classroom. The quality of software can be evaluated before purchasing, during instruction, or following use. There are various ways in which to do this. It is important to select software that will best meet the needs of your classroom. The use of evaluation organizations, online reviews, and cost comparisons are effective ways to evaluate software before purchasing. (Stirling) When searching for the evaluation organization you will use, it is important that the organization has access to student data from schools already using the software. Reiser and Kegelmann's article titled "Evaluating Instructional Software: A Review and Critique of Current Methods" stresses the use of these organizations in order to get ample information about software before a school district purchases it. Online reviews and cost comparisons are easily accessible and provide more in depth information about the makeup of the software. Cost comparisons are important to keep your district on budget. (Popkin) Although these evaluation methods are usually done long before purchase, it is also important to continue your evaluations during instruction when the software is being implemented by students. One of the best ways to do this and be available for your students is with the use of teacher and student checklists. This can be in the form of a log students complete when they use the particular software. The list may be very short or very complex based on the needs of the evaluation. It may include questions regarding amount of time needed to open software, what was learned, was the software engaging, etc. While students are working, teachers may also complete their own checklist with similar questions based on their observations of students. Following instruction teachers may base other evaluation on the overall achievement of students. It is important to assess what students learned when using the software. This may be compared to data acquired before the software was used to see if it was helpful to students. All of these evaluation methods may be easily adapted to different classroom and software types. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">1. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> (2003, December 28).
