This class EDUC-67101, Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society has been very beneficial to me. I have always been a little intimidated by technology, but having to actually experience things on my own to pass an online class has gotten me a lot more comfortable. I feel like I am ready to tackle any form of technology now. Technology is something everyone will have to face sometime in their life to thrive in this world. My entire school district this year is going paperless, so people really need to get familiar with computers.
This year I plan to use a lot of technology in my classroom. I just hope and pray that administrators and parents will support my ideas. I plan to give opportunities for a lot of collaboration and try to create a student centered classroom. My first goal for this school year is to not work harder than my students. I want my students to have more responsibility and I want them to lead discussions, so that they won’t have to sit through boring lectures like I did as a student. My second goal is to expose my students to all sources of technology and continue to teach them 21 Century skill to help them be successful in future endeavors.
I am going to continue to be a life long learner and hope that I am able to work and collaborate with colleagues who are on the same page as I am. I plan to participate in as much professional development as possible. My district offers a lot of free courses on technology, so I think I am going to take advantage of that.
