As a student I prefer to use Google Docs over Microsoft word. I think I prefer Google Docs more because I have been using it my whole life. In middle school and high school teachers would tell us to use Google Docs. However, in college teachers started telling us to use Microsoft Word and I was so confused. I feel like Google Docs is more self explanatory, whereas Microsoft Word is not.
ISTE Standards for Educators are very important tools to remember. I chose 2.4 b Collaborator because it is the most important, in my opinion. "Collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and diagnose and troubleshoot technology issues." It is important for teachers to engage with students to figure out what the student is struggling with, especially technology wise.
The term digital native means a person born or brought up during the age of technology. Someone who is a digital native is familiar with technology and knows how to use it from an early age. I would consider myself a digital native since I grew up using technology. However, my teachers I would not consider digital natives. My teachers sometimes struggle to show us something through a projector. It isn't easy for everyone!
