The 5th technology standard for educators asks us to continue to improve our skills, keep up-to-date on new information and be role models for other teachers and students by continuing to progress as new technology becomes available.
Each year in our district, we have an inservice day where we are required to sign up for "short courses" which will hopefully help improve our learning and teaching ability. Each year I strive to use this time more effectively and the last few years I have tried to really focus my attentions on learning more about the use of technology in the classroom. I think that the only limitations which may keep some teachers from acieving this standard is the support from their districts and schools. Not every district offers free courses on making a webpage for your classroom. Not every district will strive to bring in graduate level programs to help teachers keep up with advances in technology. I think that the ability of a teacher to reach this particular standard may depend greatly on the support they recieve from their administration and supervisors.
