Introduction

In today's world of extensive technology, it is very important that students and teachers alike, be able to make use of all resources available to them.  Students must be instructed on the various uses of technology and how it can be used to enhance their learning experience.  It is up to the teacher to support the curriculum with technology and provide instruction for its use.  The Kentucky Board of Education has provided teachers with an extensive set of standards that must be demonstrated for certification.  This web resource will provide links and resources which will provide information to assist in preparation for this certification.


Standard 10 :  Demonstrates Implementation of Technology

"The teacher uses technology to support instruction; access and manipulate data; enhance professional growth and productivity; communicate and collaborate with colleagues, parents and the community; and conduct research."
