Overall, I agree with all of the ISTE Standards and believe that each one is beneficial to students. The standards are all different and cover all parts of technology and technological learning, which I find beneficial. These standards promote healthy online learning as well as creativity and hard work. The standards also allow the children to do the work to succeed and continue moving up, instead of having a teacher guide them through each individual step.

The standard that stood out to me the most was the second standard, “Digital Citizen.” Below are three learning activities to help students meet this standard.

1. To help students manage their personal data, I will have them use google sheets to create an excel sheet of all of their usernames and passwords. This will stress the importance of being organized and keeping track of your logins for every account that you have. This will also continue to be beneficial to the students as they grow up and begin to have more and more accounts.
2. To teach the students positive and ethical behavior on the internet, I will create a class discussion board. I will ask the students a question and they will have to answer the question as well as positively respond to two of their classmates on the discussion board. As the teacher, I will be able to see each response and will go over responses that are positive and acceptable as well as responses that are not.
3. To help students understand the permanence of the internet, I will have a lesson in which I write on a dry erase board with permanent marker. Being that it is not a dry-erase marker, the permanent marker will not come off. I will explain to the students that things on the internet are permanent and you have to be careful what you post and how you portray yourself. I will then have the students create a portfolio for themselves on google docs or google slides in which they introduce themselves and include pictures of themselves and their family. I will stress the importance of making sure that their portfolio is something that they are comfortable with the class seeing and comparing this to social media accounts.
