I have used technology in my educational life almost daily. Since elementary school, I was taught to use interactive boards, iPad's, and laptops. Since then, it has become an essential part of my everyday life. When studying in high school, the teachers would make a Kahoot game, instead of traditionally going through the motions of reading a textbook or going over a sheet. Currently, I am writing this blog for a class, again using technology. There has not been a class where I don't use technology.
I am really excited about this class as I feel it will excel my knowledge and fluency on technology. With that being said, I hope to learn about more efficient and safer ways to use technology in my future classroom setting. Learning about those two skills will enhance the use of technology for my students, and hopefully, help them engage more.
That's great, Jackelyn! I am glad that you have a very clear career goal. This should help you a lot in the future learning.
ReplyDeleteSafer ways to use tech is an important topic but unfortunately we are not going to spend too much time on that. However, this can be a great content area that you can explore for you independent learning project.
