This is going to be my last post for
the year…
I cannot believe that the time has gone by so
quickly, but it has, and I am a semester wiser, now! The greatest lessons that I have been able to
take away from this class – technology in education – are these:
·
There is a place for technology in
education! (That much is very clear!)
·
It is necessary to adapt one’s teaching
method with the times.
·
It is also necessary to challenge one’s
students.
·
And it is good to ask for help and
collaborate with other teachers! The
more the merrier!
·
I have learned how to work with
different technology, and how they can enrich the students’ learning
experience.
I have had the privilege of being able to learn from
a lady who knows her stuff! She is an
excellent teacher, and I am proud to be her
student. ;)
I have also had the privilege of learning with some
excellent friends who have made this
class….very interesting…and, of course, fun.
I anticipate being able to put what I have been
taught into practice someday; whether it is for a class, or something
else. I also cannot wait to see what technology is and will be available – not just to make things easier, but to
open new opportunities and new capacities to teach
to learn.
If you are a seasoned teacher, or you are a student
who is learning to become a teacher, always remember…YOU ARE SO
IMPORTANT!! You have and will affect
future generations – how you do it is your choice! So please, choose wisely how you will
teach. I want to encourage you to do
your best, and if you need something to refresh your teaching method and help bring out the best in your
students, please consider using technology as a tool – not as a fix-all.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
Blessings,
Joy
