My Technology Philosophy
For this course, the class was required to establish 5 statements about our philosophy on technology. As a future educator, I promise to do the following in my classroom to give my students the best learning experience:
I will be sure to integrate technology that students can use to collaborate and work cooperatively into my lessons and assignments to support 21st Century learning.
I will introduce and teach the students how to use various technological resources before giving an assignment so that students fully understand all that is available to them and how to most effectively choose and maneuver through these tools.
I will utilize technology to emphasize participation in my classroom so that I can make sure all students in the class can contribute to the lesson, be engaged, and be formatively assessed on their learning (no matter their learning level, style, personalities, disabilities, etc.)
I will integrate technological tools into projects that allow students to develop their creative minds.
Before assigning work that involves a new technology, I will thoroughly explain to my students the issues of cyberethics that accompany the technology and the importance of being aware of it.
