In my opinion the main influence teachers and students have to use technology is that its very

convenient.In a sense where today if you don't have the answer to something you can quickly search it up. Technology is used everywhere now so it only make sense to implement it in todays classroom. Another influence for teachers can be the creativity that comes with it. This help students be more engaged in what's being taught.

I like this process and the purpose that it holds.One ISTE Standard that is the most meaningful to me will be the standard for students. Its very important for students to be prepared to succeed in the technology field. I like how ISTE is designed to empower student voice and ensure that learning is a student driven process.As of right now one ISTE Standard that might be a challenge for me is the technology coaching. I'll have to improve on becoming a more skilled educator in the technology field to support my peers around me.

Being a Digital Native to me  is when you are born into something, it's almost like its natural.. This is like your  first language, Its something that you don't choose its normally chosen for you. I agree with the label Digital Native for todays youth. All we know now is technology. Before a child is even talking she know how to operate a phone or tablet.  Digital Immigrants have to figure out how to work technology. In other countries they are still using paper and pencils but here you are doing work on a tablet.I am not very experience with technology so I'll call myself a digital immigrant but its a big difference with a native and immigrant, Just as it would be if you are forced to learn a different language. I think that my future students will be using technology to do everything, I think  the world is slowly transitioning to the use of technology for just about everything.
