My beliefs

My beliefs are:
1. I think that technology is needed in the classroom.
2. Students can benefit from having technology as part of their everyday learning in a classroom setting.
3. As teachers we will be able to create smarter and more capable students than every before by using the different technologies that are available to us.

To elaborate on these beliefs, I think that technology will be a automatic resource in our classrooms. It already is, and in order to be a successful teacher, I will jump on that band wagon and ride it til I die. It will make my life so much easier, because the digital world is all recorded, and being able to add interactives and colors and sounds to my lessons is amazing! The students will also benefit more because instead of only reaching the learners separately by teaching using different strategies I can reach them all by using technology. For example: The four types of learners are Visual, Aural, Reading/writing, and Kinethstetic. By creating a lesson using pictures and videos, having my notes on the screen or in electronic devices in the children's hands and having interactive feedback between my computer and theirs touches all of the types. Now compare that to the old school way of students copying lecture notes. Catch my drift?

We will create a smarter generation by being able to tap into all types of learning. More students will be able to succeed in school and be able to go into the real world with actual information that will help them succeed. Having the technology that creates more interaction between students, teachers, and parents can be so beneficial to the students success. We will open up the lines of communication and we will bring forth the smartest generation of students so far.
