When I clicked on the link to the assignment I was slightly confused. However, the Internet Connection test results said that my download speed is 9.94Mbps and my upload speed is 0.37 Mbps. Apparently download speed is how quickly I can receive information from the Internet. Upload speed is how quickly I can transfer information to the Internet. I am not sure if my results were good or bad as I am not very fluent in these technology terms. If someone can tell me one way or the other it would be appreciated. My computer is less than a year old and I have cable Internet so I hope that is good.
I feel that this activity best fits under technology standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity bullet b- engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources because the Internet is something that the students use daily. This website could also fit well under technology standard 5- Engage in Professional Growth and Development, bullet d- contribute to the effectiveness, vitality, and self-renewal of the teaching profession and of their school and community. This is because if students have the ability to complete such tests and understand the results then they could check connection speed on computers within the school in turn contributing to the effectiveness of their school.
