NETS

New literacies to me means being able to use technology to locate and use information to further thinking.  By using the internet and mobile devices it is easier to raise questions to others and share information and ideas.  As teachers I feel it is becoming more important to start teacher our students to use technology correctly and as a learning tool for lifelong learners.  Below is one game online that is aimed for kids from preschool-grade 5.  Being a high school math teacher, this is not too helpful to myself, but if you want check out the review of the game.




NETS for Teachers are the standards associated with using technology and digital material in education.  One site that I found interesting is socrative.com.  You can set up quizzes that are multiple choice or open ended and assign the questions to students at their own pace or you can use a class pace.  The site is very user friendly and easy to follow.  This can be an option for integrating assessments through the internet.
