When trying to figure out where I fall under
Michigan standard 7 and NETS T I try to think about what I already know about
technology and how it will help me in my classroom. Hmm…What do I know? I know enough to barely
get by and I know there is a whole world of technology that is at my finger tips
that I don’t know about. I am taking a
technology class currently that is helping me with a lot of things and teaching
me all the pro’s and con’s about technology in the classroom. I feel like kids relate better to the teacher
when the teacher is using technology but I also feel that having a personable
lesson is important as well.
I am very committed to keep my technological skill
up to par for the classroom as long as it is not taking over my teaching
ability. The world right now is moving
toward a direction of technology, technology, technology! Students, I’m sure, are already ahead of the
game. I have been fortunate to have the
opportunity to observe in a lot of different classroom settings which has been
very eye-opening. There is so much cool
stuff available for a classroom I was very surprised about all the different
tools. I started logging the different
technology the teachers are using and the different ways they are using it in
lessons. Given all I have learned from
my observations I feel it is imperative to stay on top of what is new in
educations and try to find ways to implement it in your lessons.
