It's one thing to read a set of educator standards. It's another thing to put them into practice as a classroom professional (adapted from ISTE Standards for Educators guide). One way of achieving that is to reflect on what we learn and do after we put it into practice.
Instructions:
- Get into groups and come up with a team name.
- Watch ONE of the two video options below with your team:
- Option #1: Culture of Innovation
- Option #2: 7 Sets
- As you watch the video, reflect on the questions below (you can use this visual aid to organize your individual thoughts):
- What benefits are there for putting a common set of standards for technology integration in place?
- What has been your experience with ISTE standards?
- How would you use the ISTE Standards to guide and assess your own work?
- Select a recorder to enter your team’s reflections on the appropriate Google Doc below:
- Select a spokesperson to share out and expand on what you wrote.

In this activity, we'll dig deeper into the educator standards by creating a pictorial, or visual, representation of key ideas expressed in the standards. In Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Checkpoint 2.5 suggests we encourage students to learn to "Illustrate through multiple media."

Text, a weak format for presenting concepts, often dominates classroom materials. For learners who have text- or language-related disabilities, it may be ineffective. One way to overcome that is to provide alternative activities that involve processing information via illustrations, simulations, images or interactive graphics.
