Standard VI: Social,
Ethical, Legal, and Human Issues.
- Apply technology resources
to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds,
characteristics, and abilities.
Algebra One and Geometry classes are heterogeneously mixed with
students of different characteristics, backgrounds, and
abilities. These classes include Special Education students and
504 Plan students. The students with special needs displayed a
higher comfort and interest level with the technology then in the
classroom. The technology put all students on the same
level. For Example: with the Algbra
One Communications goal, I had a students who had a difficult time
with writing; by using MS Word he could concentrate on his answers and
not be concerned with having difficulty writing them out. Other
students who have a difficult time with the content were able to view
material in a different manner to produce a better understanding.
- Facilitate equitable access
to technology resources for all students.
At the start of the project I surveyed the students to find out their
technology capabilities at home, and their knowledge of software and
hardware. I did not want to assign a home assignment if a student
did not have the access to complete it.
In each case with Algebra One and Geometry, the student were taken to a
computer lab were they most often had their own computer to work with,
or on the occasion when they had to pair up the students were assigned
work so that each person had to work "hands on" with the
computer. Calculus was assigned work at home, but given a week to
complete the assignment and the school lab is available before and
after school if they
could not complete the assignment at home or for make-up work for any
of the
classes.

VI. Social, Ethical, Legal, and Human Issues.
Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal, and human issues
surrounding the use of technology in PK-12 schools and apply those
principles in practice.
Teachers:
- Model and teach legal and
ethical practice related to technology use.
- Apply technology resources
to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds,
characteristics, and abilities.
- Identify and use technology
resources that affirm diversity.
- Promote safe and healthy
use of technology resources.
- Facilitate equitable access
to technology resources for all students.
