This class has exposed me to a variety of technologies that can enhance a student’s educational experience. Developing my educational technology philosophy made me think about roles of the teacher and student and what I feel is important and necessary to create a positive teaching and learning experience. It was informative to read the different philosophical schools of thought and then recognize that I relate to constructivism. When I become a teacher I will try hard to practice my philosophy. It is important for teachers, students, and their families to communicate and learn from each other. I also want to have a fun learning environment and feel that incorporating many of the tools learned in this class will motivate and engage students.
This class introduced me to technological tools I probably would not have used otherwise. Now, I am much more aware and less intimidated by the tools. Podcasts, Google Earth, wiki, the e-portfolio and blog were not difficult to create and I can see myself using them in the future.
I had fun with this blog and feel like I put a lot of work into it; partly because it is seen by the public! I also like that I can view my completed work in one place and review my thoughts from a particular time. I would like to continue to use my blog to journal my student teaching experience and then later use it in my science class.
