       ELA technology standards were created a gateway for students to be able to navigate programs to prepare them for our new future of technology. I choose second grate ELA technology standards because by second grade children are ready to work on their technology skills and build on them. Second grade ELA standards are using images to describe stories or examples, using text features to easier navigate to specific things, work on group papers, able to describe audio stories, visual display, and gain a stronger vocabulary and comprehension for their readings.

It is important for educators to be comfortable with these standards to be the best educator they could be. The standard that is most meaningful to me is the citizen standard.
