My Hobbies and Loves of Life!

What I have Learned in this class/projects I will use in the future.

The Instructional Technology class this semester has taught me a number of things.  First, the class has taught me that technology can be a plus and a negative.  Technology projects take time and organization that will be good if you have that time.  When dealing with technology you can use it to create blogs for your students which are enjoyable to write comments on such as this or even have assignment information accessible from a blog posting sight.  I really enjoyed learning about the voki, which students would not want to hear a follow up on the assignment in a fun voice coming from the teacher himself.  I think I may use this in the future for a special occasions.  I would like to someday create a little video series of hands-on activities that teaches my students the inquiry side of things maybe of when I go on vacation and see some interesting land features.  This video will be done to perfection due to what I have learned on i movie etc.  I can present this to my class through media presented on the smart-board off of youtube and really have  a participating class due to the excitement from the video.  I want to also make a difference in different topics such as cyberbullying and making sure that students are growing in Character using their senses to obey what is good and wise.  Much non-sense goes on in schools today and I want to help stop the bad that goes on with technology too, including plagiarism etc.  It has been a great year in preparation of me being a teacher and I thank you for your time and patience with me as a students!

What is the Future of Technology? How does this impact me?

Technology is one aspect of the 21st century that is extremely hard to predict where it will be in the near or far future for teachers.  However, it does quit frankly affect me.  Here are my thoughts on the future of technology despite this debate that takes places.  I think that teachers are going to move towards the new smart-boards in classrooms as well as start to use different approaches to distributing literature and different levels will be accessible as we continue teaching higher and lower level learners. Technology may affect the way that I teach because it can be hard to depict which style of learning I will be enforcing in my classroom, more standards based or curriculum, or free to be general and apply it to certain aspects of education.  My teaching will set the tone for whether some of the students succeed in certain areas or not and thus, new technology can be a crazy thing to rely on as it is constantly in new paradigm shifts. So as a teacher I am going to be a lifelong learner as I continue to be the best I can be.  When new things come out, I want to access whether or not it will be beneficial to my class or not and take a look at it, we just need to be careful not to just up and accept it right away if it develops students who do not think for themselves like we want them too. We do not want to create people who do not have the wisdom of knowledge when they are not with their computers.  We need to develop students into very cognitive thinkers full of integrity to face the hard spots in life with a confident attitude.
