NCATE Standards

After reading the NCATE Standards, I am left wondering how long these seven points have been in effect. The experience that I have had encountering these standards is exclusive to my college career. When I was in high school, hi-tech was considered a video, I am not very that old, but I went to an underfunded school in the nineties.

At my previous college BCC, there was a greater awareness of the role that technology played in the class room but nothing that was aimed and teaching larval teachers how to use it or implement it in the class room. However, here at Cortland there is a strong push to make future teachers aware of this... if there wasn' t, we wouldn't be here.

I am not sure were how these standards will effect me in the future, but it seems in these every changing times that their implementation is something that cannot be over looked.
(that seemed a little pretentious and ambiguous)

I dont believe you are the only one who sees all this influx of technology of a large shock. I am always surprised to hear the varying levels of technology in classmates' schools, I never really thought my high school was ever that special, but I took it for granted I guess, but I also think that for people that these trends of technology are new too will take to them with far more intrigue and strive to give back students perhaps something they didnt have a chance to indulge in.
