effective use of technology, students benefit in many aspects of education. Students develop a
thinking and problem-solving skills. It is imperative for educators to instruct their lessons based
on the designer standards because it allows them to differentiate learning through their lesson
plan to meet the needs of students'. For instance, if an educator introduces the topic of
immigration, the educator can present how many immigrants traveled across the world to Ellis
Island by showing movie clips, creating fake passports, or use a virtual tour to give a brief
history on immigration.
This method would immediately spark the interests of students' because it is a different
and fun approach than teaching it through a textbook. It is important for the educator to facilitate
the concept of immigration to students by evaluating which students understand or struggle with
the topic. To evaluate students' knowledge of immigration, educators can use classroom
response systems in their instruction. It is a software that helps educators create questions such
as multiple choice, fill in the blank, or true or false to identify the levels of skill from recalling
facts through evaluation. Educators can use data collection tools such as "clickers" to provide
learning needs because it provides an immediate and accurate response, and all answers of
students' are anonymous. Based on the students’ answers, the educator should have a summary
that identifies the incorrect answers by each student. Then, the educator can differentiate the
lesson on immigration by creating a personalized study guide for students to review together, and
It is essential for students to know about the ISTE standards because it shows how the
learning environment is more student-centered. The students play an active role in the classroom
by having the opportunity to learn through their own choices. They challenge themselves
cognitively by evaluating how they process the information. While the educator may create an
individualized instruction to meet students' needs, the students learn how to become more
autonomous by having more control of their learning. Integrating technology that aligns with
curriculum helps focus on students' needs by focusing on their strengths and weaknesses. They
have more access to the system of learning because technology allows students to personalize
All students can collaborate with each other and the teacher directly with the use of
technology. Not only will students be able to collaborate locally, but they will be able to
collaborate globally, which will expose them to different viewpoints. It is also crucial for
students to learn the responsibilities and rights of a digital citizen, so their use of technology
would be safe, ethical, positive, legal, and respectful to their peers, teacher, and the online
community. Not only is it beneficial for students to learn with technology, but it also helps them
to prepare for their careers in the future. It is also essential for students to know the ISTE
standards because it teaches them how to locate resources. They have more access to their
research such as databases, clips of art, photos, media, and library catalogs for their future
information. Students can use their critical thinking skills when solving any open-ended
problems. They can generate their ideas by finding many creative ways to find the solution. It
gives them an opportunity to challenge themselves by analyzing information, and it builds their
confidence when they encounter obstacles they may be unsure of. Students can quickly identify
and collect any types of data for the appropriate instruction. Using technology in classrooms will
broaden their perspective on using different tools, formats, and styles in their work and learning
environment. The ISTE standards for students would be helpful to know because it gives
students the platform and the support they need for their learning process in education.
Integrating technology into the curriculum is beneficial for students because it enriches their
learning environment. Students will be more active and interested in learning if the learning
