Continuing to Grow

This technology class has taught me that everything is constantly changing and nothing is impossible. My students are itching to learn and to be engaged. Technology is the quickest and easiest way to engage students. I have learned about web pages, blogs, and various technology tools to improve instruction. One of my favorite projects was taking a lesson plan that I have already implemented into my classroom, and changing that plan to include technology. I was able to implement technology into every aspect of that lesson. I actually shared that lesson plan with other teachers of my team, because we all taught it last year with little technology. Now we are all going to implement the 100% technology lesson.

Technology can be overwhelming, but this class has showed me that there are so many resources online to help. You can find "how to do" videos all over the internet. Most of them are very helpful!

My teaching will change in only one way. I will implement technology on a daily basis. I will also implement various types of technology into my classroom. My technology did just consist of using the Smart Board, but now it has changed and will continue to change and grow :)
