Week 8- Technology Education Matrix

     The Technology Education Matrix cell that I choose was Authentic Learning Entry Level.  The objectives as given from the K-2 reading practice are "Students will develop literacy skills independently" and "Students will use basic computer skills such as keyboarding by using phonics games online".  These meets the NETS for Teachers standards 2a (design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity) and 2b (develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress).  Of course these two NETS standards are taught at a very rudimentary level because of the young age group of students.
     I believe that my technology education skills have vastly grown since the beginning of class.  I have learned to think quicker and more effectually.  Ever since I have left my comfort zone I have been able to grow and expand my knowledge in the digital world of education.  I feel that my Technology Education Matrix is at the Infusion level.  I still have more to learn and will continue to do so in the remaining weeks of the semester and further more in life.
