Digital Native

      I used to use MS Word when I was younger, than I got a Macbook Air during high school and switched over to Google Docs. My high school used Google Classroom and gmail, so I only used Google software, rather than any MS software. I prefer using Google software because it is easier to me, and I like the layout and accessibility to apps much more. 

     The Leader portion of the ISTE Standards for Educators was the most meaning full standard to me because I think that children becoming empowered and put in leadership positions is beneficial for all. It helps children learn about responsibility and confidence. I was in a leadership position in most of the clubs and organizations that I've been in, so I've seen first hand how someone grows from being in a position of power. 

        I agree with the term "digital native." It means to have grown up learning and surrounded by tech, becoming very used to dealing with it. Yes theres a difference between digital natives and teachers, most of the time in high school, the student would have to show the teacher how to do things on their computers. It has impacted my life because everything is online now. All my classes are online, I'm not sure what they'd be like if they weren't. I assume as life goes on, technology will keep advancing and taking over, and my future students will most likely have to show me new things.
