Technology Self Assesment School 2.0

School 2.0/Tech Self-Assessment is NETS IV: Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
Standard # 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. The video by Sir Ken Robinson titled Creativity and Schools brought up the importance of allowing children to be creative. It was once stated that children are all born artists, and the challenge is to keep them artists to make sure they do not grow out of it. This is very important to learn as a teacher of an elementary school because creativity must be incorporated in every lesson. Many students that are quiet and not engaged in lectures shine through creativity or visual projects which help their confidence and inspire their classmates.
