Introduction to specific outcomes

Looking over the eleven goals for the course, I feel that for me already being a teacher all will be very useful outcomes after completing the course. With 21st century learning being the State Superintendents goal for all students in public education we as teachers need to strive to improve instructional technology through various means. To develop higher level thinking we need to challenge our students to use all technological resources that are available whether it be through the internet or by other non-traditional means.
The one goal that really stands out to me is to engage in learning activities that require them to analyze information, think creatively, make predictions, and/or draw conclusions using classroom technology resources. To me this goal is very important because it allows for students to learn using higher levels of Bloom's in the classroom. This is very important because students need to be challenged in the higher levels of thinking skills and by using technology we as teachers can use various means to incorporate higher level thinking skills.
