NETS-T Standards

I have recently read the NETS-T Standards and I am beginning to learn how to use them and relate them to the classroom. The second standard is to design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. Standard 2c states, "Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources." I feel strongly about this standard because I have realized that every student learns differently, and it is important that teachers embrace different learning styles.

This standard can be used through an assignment that gives students individual choices of how they would like to complete it. For example, students would all be assigned a general project but decide which way they want to do it. The project could be something where the student is given a choice to either write a story, make a video, make a power point, create a website or blog, or use photography.
 
The article Grow Creativity  discusses creativity and originality in schools. After reading this article I can see how it relates to the standard I chose because the project I would have students do completely brings out originality in each of the students. They are able to express themselves through originality. 

Another article I found that discusses the standard I chose is What Works in K-12 Online Learning . This article talks about how students learn differently. It stresses that there should be multiple ways in which content is presented, multiple ways for student expression, and multiple ways to gain student interest.
