Reflection

Technology for teachers is a course that has provided me with alternative ways of teaching in the classroom. I think that this class has helped me to help my students understand that the computer can be used for more than just e-mail and games. Initially, I didn’t know what to expect from this course. But this class has shown me great fun ways to making learning more interactive for my students.

I feel very prepared for integrating technology into my daily lessons. This class has provided me great programs such as Inspiration, Power Point, Excel, Access, and Netscape. These programs also help teaching to become much more interactive for the students. It’s a great tool that can step in and provide additional help for a student that may be struggling in a subject. Technology is a great tool for teachers in assisting them with teaching. I think that all of the assignments that we have completed in this course are a great way to help me put it to use once I am in the classroom.

Unfortunately, not all schools have the same level of technology I their schools. I think that after taking this course, the level of technology resources will have an impact one me. I have learned that technology greatly improves learning. No matter what situation I am in, I know that I can adjust. I just think that it would be a disappointment not to have access to great technology.

I think that technology should be used in every classroom throughout every grade level. Our world has fast become a technology world. And I think in order to keep up with the times you have to become knowledgeable about computers and technology. What a better way to do so by teaching them young. Technology is also a great way to teach different material in the classroom. It provides an alternative way of teaching students. It can help the student interact with the lesson being taught. As teachers, it should be a part of our job description to keep up to date with new technology. I world is fast becoming dependent on it.
