Standard 5.2.D:  Planning
for Student Understanding


Standard 5.2.D asks teachers to positively impact student learning through integrating technology into the both the instruction and assessment.   For me this standard asks “how can a teacher use technology in the classroom as a tool to redefine the relationships of the classroom where “students are the experts” of the knowledge they encounter, acquire and master as well as and how they share it with their peers both in class presentations and publishing on the web.  My larger question is can this role reversal, that is enabled through technology positively impact student learning?  Do you focus on the technology or on the learning?  When does technology get in the way of the learning and when does the learning get in the way of technology?
