 The ELA technology standards for 5th grade include many different technologies however they are not very complex to use. For 5th grade teachers should know how to use presentation software such as Powerpoint or Google. They must also be comfortable using online poster creators, mind-mapping applications such as Popplet and ebooks.

My school system growing up was always very focused on getting us in touch with technology which I am extremely grateful for. Personally, I do not notice much difference between Google Docs and Word but if I had to pick between the two, I probably use Word more than Google Docs. The only thing I like more about Microsoft Word is that the toolbars at the top to edit and format your content is much easier to navigate than Google Docs. The standard of the ISTE standards for Educators that is most meaningful to me is Collaborator. I feel that the ability to collaborate with others is one of the most important aspects of a K-12 educator because it teaches kids how to work together to think about things in ways, they never would have thought about it before.
