Teaching for me, is making sure my students leave my classroom with the vital skills they will need to advance in their educational careers. With that being said, I believe involving technology in my classroom will do just that. Technology has become a huge part of our world and teaching our young students how to use it is extremely important. However, with that comes responsibility to myself to fully understand the ins and outs of what I will be using in my classroom.
I believe that many students learn best by jumping right in and doing things for themselves. Because of this, the collaborative aspect has become something I like to incorporate into almost every lesson. Technology has made collaboration so much easier and more intriguing for students. Words I go by are that students are more inclined to learn when they are taught how to learn for themselves and not shown the content to memorize. I think having the students learn with technology is an effective way to teach them how to learn and understand. With the proper background, warnings from the teacher, and education, I believe technology can really help the students prosper.
