My Standard for Education Technology

The Standard I've chosen to base my MD 400 projects around comes from the ISTE website and is as follows:

2.	Communication and Collaboration
	Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
	a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures. d. contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.

I'm currently studying to become a secondary English teacher.  In my methods course, my class and I outlined what we believed the purpose of English education should be.  Several of our ideas show up in the above standard, namely that English students should be able to communicate effectively, in oral and written forms, to a variety of audiences, and they should gain global perspective on different issues.  I'm therefore hoping to align this standard, technology, and my visions on English learning together.
