= Standard 1 Teachers know the subjects they are teaching. = The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for pupils Evidence1: Cutting Edge Technology Research Paper

Rationale 1: I was able to research google goggles for this project. I found that this application could be used for educational purposes in the classroom. I have not yet incorporated this technology into my classroom, but, if the resources were available, I know that the use of google goggles would be helpful for the students when researching information. Many of my students are visual learners, and being able to use a tool that works off of their visual strengths will be beneficial for them. In addition to this, students often have a difficult time weeding out information on the internet that does not apply to their research. Google goggles help the students to accurately research information on the web. KSD: 1.K.2 The teacher understands how students’ conceptual frameworks and misconceptions for an area of knowledge can influence their knowledge. I understand that students often fail to use accurate information they find on the internet. By training the students how to use the google goggles effectively, the students should be able to research effectively and accurately.

1.S.3 The teacher can evaluate teaching resources and curriculum materials for their comprehensiveness, accuracy, and usefulness in representing particular ideas and concepts. I have evaluated the use of search engines on the internet. I’ve found that the google goggles is another useful tool the students can use research information in a visual way.

1.D.4 The teacher is committed to continuous learning and engages in professional discourse about subject matter knowledge and children’s learning of the discipline. I researched this cutting edge technology to better my instructional strategies. By continuing to learn, research, and stay up-to-date with new technology, I am able to further engage my students with my lessons.
