Reflections on Chapter 1

1. What is the role that national technology standards play in successful integration of technology? It gives teachers great opportunities to broaden the students way of learning. It gives them choices of subscriptions to Learning and Leading and more journal websites.

2. How can you manage the classroom during technology integration? They can manage the classroom by involving the students as they learn to use the technology. Getting overwhelmed can cause the students to feel very overwhelmed. The best thing for the teachers to do is to not be resistant to technology just accept the new technology of teaching. Lesson planning is also a big part of integrating technology.

3.What is the connection between learning outcomes and assessment? The connection between learning outcomes and assessments is that they both display what the students have learned from the lesson.

4.Describe the characteristics of special learners? Students who are English language learners and students that struggle academically are considered special learners. There are also special learners that are not so obvious. Some special learners are poverty students and some students have physical disabilities, emotional disabilities, and cognitive abilities.
