Blog post #3: ISTE standard #1

In my project, which is making a website that informs people about how the pollution in our oceans is really damaging and effecting us tremendously. Also I will try to persuade and teach people not to throw garbage in the oceans and either throw it away or recycle it.

Empowered Learner - Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.

I think I am using ISTE standard #1 in a couple of different ways. ISTE standard #1 is "Empowered Learner," where it basically talks about how technology helps students be part of, understand learning goals, and being able to choose. (ISTE standards for students)

The ways I am using this standard is by using research in websites to learn more about pollution in the Oceans.

1d - Students understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate the ability to choose, use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfertheir knowledge to explore emerging technologies.

Another way is sending my teacher my final product, and him reviewing it.

1c - Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

The final way I am using ISTE standard #1 is by setting personal goals, by filling out a calendar where I say what I want done, and by when.

1a - Articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.
