Hello!
1. My work with Microsoft word throughout my schooling has been abundant but, mostly using word for the normal things like essays/short stories. I never used word much for the other things like making fliers or newsletters, a few time I used word to create them but no where near as much as using it to write up something. I do prefer MS word over all word processing tools. I've used MS word all my life and never got too familiar with the others like Google Docs, Mac OS Pages.
2. ISTE is a very creative way to sum up about everything an educator should shoot to be. Some people don't realize it but educators if you think about it are sometimes in a kids life more than others and don't realize the impact they can have. Knowing what you are talking about and being able to use different tools and technology to teach people different lessons is a very important task when you are an educator. The standard most important to me is being a Citizen. If the educator is able to get to know the people they are teaching and take the time to really pay attention it will boost their teaching level by an amazing amount. I like teachers who will have a nice chat and figure out my strengths and weaknesses and help me through it which is why i treasure Citizen the most.
3. I believe the term digital native really does suit this generation. Everything and I mean almost everything now a days can be done through technology. It is almost unheard of to see things that technology hasn't found a loop hole in. The earlier generations being Digital Immigrants is also pretty true but, I'd also maybe not put them that far out of the circle of digital native. Kids are grown up around technology now and it plays a major role in a kids life. In the near future I could see technology reaching even greater heights and the way teaching is now will also change. The way technology can reshape things is astronomical.
