Reflective Essay

"Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society" has been a wonderful class, full of great learning experiences. I have enhanced my knowledge of technology from participating in the weekly discussions and completing the weekly assignments. There are so many things you can do with technology in the classroom that I was not aware of before taking this class. One thing that I have learned and plan to incorporate in my classroom is how to set up blogs and use them as a tool for learning. I have always tried to make my class learning-centered and not teacher-centered, because it's not about me, it's about the students. In the future I hope to be able to attend some workshops or training on using different forms of technology in the classroom for my content area of Math. Two long term goals I have are to try to do a technology-based lesson at least twice a week and to somehow make it where students can complete and submit their homework online. To do these things I will need access to technology which will come from my school upgrading the technology.
