The podcast discussed standards and the rules that teachers have to follow. First there are standards that the teachers are subject to. An example fo this would be that the teacher understands key concepts and they know how to motivate the children. The second type of standard would be what they actually have to teach. For example in 4th grade math you have to teach number sense and computation.
The other goal of the podcast was to teach you how you could use technology; they are to increase efficiency, increase effectiveness and to enhance learning. You are using the technology to help your lesson plan, not making a lesson plan just to use the technology.
Then we learned the difference between digital natives and digital immigrants. Digital natives are born into the technological era. They use the language and want things to move quickly and they enjoy mulit-tasking. A digital immigtant is someone who is learning or has learned to use technology, but still has the basiv ideas of doing step-by-step processes. Immigrants tend to use technogogy but, not at the same rate that natives do. The article discussed how immigrants need to change so that they accomidate the digital natives.
We also learned how to use webquest to reasear and provide new information.
