It kind of difficult to think about not having computers apart of the educational experience. Computers have developed into an essential for learning and teaching. There have been a ton of ways that computers have made a huge impact on the structure of education and the students involved. Teachers use computers everyday now. For instance, when they use or tell their students to use Microsoft word for an assignment or a paper that they need to give out to their students. Many teachers make use of the computers in their school to insert grades, attendance, and many other things. They can even go home and do some work instead of having to stay at their place of work.

For all the different things I read about regarding the ISTE Standards, seem to be very interesting. These standards are kind of like a set of rules for each group of individuals based on their roles in an educational setting. Great says like "Teachers hold the key to our students success" are right teachers do but with the ISTE Standards their roles in the lives of these students are changing simply because they have to follow a set of guidelines given to them by people who don't teach. The ISTE Standards are telling teachers how things need to be taught, when they need to be taught, and now they will have to learn to "get into the digital age". The one ISTE Standard that I really like is Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments. I think this is cool because this will make students more knowledgeable about certain technological equipment that can be fundamental to their learning experience.I don't really dislike any of they because they all seem to be a great way to help students grow into successful individuals.

DIGITAL NATIVE
I think this label perfectly fits today's youth. They are constantly growing and as they grow technology grows with them. They are the youth that has grown up with technology since they were younger and now that new things are being developed they will most likely already learn to use this within a week of being released. Unlike our grand parents, who don't even know how to completely use their phones, we develop and used technology almost everyday of our lives.
