Week 10 Educational Techlologies Blog (NETS & ISTE Standards)

Week 10

Educational Technologies Blog
For this week's assignment, we had to discuss two technologies related to digital citizenship, ethics and netiquette which have potential to enhance adult education. 

NETS: Digital citizenship for students.

NETS for Students is an excellent tool for students to comprehend cultural, human, and communal concerns about technology and ethical behavior and practice legal. The student will have the ability to utilize technology in a responsible manner, be responsible, and practice the safe use of critical information and technology. Students will have a positive outlook against the use of technology that structures collaboration, learning, and output. Digital citizenship for students establishes individual responsibility for lifelong learning and displays leadership (Ribble, 2008).

ISTE Standards’: Digital ethics for students.

 Technology to assist adult learners with digital ethics enables online students the ability to guard their education, great digital citizens, discernment builders, commission learners, creative maker, computational mastermind, intelligent reporter, and an all-around team player. These benefits can improve adult education in digital ethics (Ribble, Bailey, & Ross, 2004).

A rationale for why you selected each technology?

I chose NETS because it is a digital citizenship tool designed to help students embrace the ability to practice online right ethics and the full responsibility for their actions online. Digital citizenship is imperative in the use of online education and makes learners aware of the importance of respecting others online and guarding critical information that could be stolen and used online (Ribble, 2008). I chose ISTE because it is a digital ethics tool used to teach students excellent digital citizenship skills. ISTE Standards provides online students clear guidelines on digital citizenship, ethics, and etiquette to support and assist students, teachers, and administration in their learning, educating, and control roles in technology (Ribble, Bailey, & Ross, 2004).

Two examples of how you might incorporate each technology into your professional practice.

To integrate NETS into the online setting, I will encourage students to make and share digital presentations, and boost students to create a project. Helping students to create a digital presentation presents the opportunity for teachers to have the discussion with online learners the importance of following the rules and regulations of copyright infringement. Students that create a project allows them the opportunity to develop information literacy skills (Ribble, 2008). Integrating ISTE into an adult online setting will allow instructors to create assignments to help students sharpen their decision-making skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving techniques. ISTE will help instructors design and create digital age learning assessments for online learners (Ribble, Bailey, & Ross, 2004).
