I would like to know how you plan to use these applications that we have analyzed in the past weeks. Will you use them personally, in your profession, or both? Do you feel that the availability and your expertise with these applications will effect the way in which you work and communicate? Will your methods of instruction be impacted by the use of these technologies, and if so do you imagine that student performance will be impacted also?
    Read the Standards of Learning and Technology Standards for Instructional Personnel. Discuss your impressions of what the standards mean to you as an educator. Give all of these questions / tasks careful consideration and respond according to the following guidelines which will be used to determine your grade.

Papers will be assigned from 1 to 4 points, based upon

a) quality of coverage,
b) thought, and
c) grammar, spelling, and usage.

Below are the characteristics that will lead to the assessed quality:

3.6 - 4 pts. Highest Quality - Would be an A or B
