Reflection on Technology in education

As a teacher I believe it’s our duty to provide students with a rich and safe environment. This may allow students to explore their inner self and build their self-esteem. I believe you should look at the whole child in order to provide them with a healthy learning environment. Children should be able to use their prior knowledge to gain access to a new skill. Teachers should always ask open –ended questions so students can build on their problem- solving skills when dealing with every day life. It is up to teachers to help students to become engaged in their own learning and take control. Provide students an opportunity to master skills at their own pace. Students are like pilots on their first solo flight. Students are equipped with the knowledge but it up to them to take off and use this knowledge to explore the world. Teachers should instill in students that a negative surround should not determine their destiny but guide them into a positive outcome. As the educational world continues to change we have to change with it. As teachers we need to be able to provide students with up to date knowledge in order for them to compete with others in society. If we want our children to be successful learner in the future we must teach them to think from themselves, solve problems and get along with others. As a teacher we are making a choice to make a difference in children life that will affect them in their adult life as well. I want to help children develop a love of learning, discovering, and giving them the tools they can use throughout their lives to make new discoveries. I believe it is crucial for teachers to cultivate learning partnerships with students. I think teaching is not all about instructing or imparting information to students as if their minds were waiting to be filled with my knowledge. Rather, teaching is igniting transformative learning; empowering students to take responsibility for their learning. I believe teaching must be multifaceted to allow students to express preferences. A good education is one that emphasizes individuality. The first step in any educational process is to understand ourselves. The classroom climate should be challenging but not threatening to students. Success in school is highly important. We need to clarity what educational approach we want for our children. If we want our children to be successful learner in the future we must teach them to think for themselves, solve problems and get along with others. This will help our children become competent adults who relate well with others and contribute to their family and society. In order to provide students with up-to-date technology we as teachers need to constantly stay abreast of what is new in technology. When we do this we can enhance our students learning by enabling them to communicate with other students outside of their classrooms. Our goal is to have all students’ technology ready for real life experiences. As teachers we have to integrate technology in our lessons and have students assess their own learning. By providing students with information on how they should conduct themselves when using technology. Provide students with the legal and ethical ways to use technology in their every day life. I have decided to take part in educating our students by educating myself. I am enrolled in a Masters program for technology. This has provided me with information that will improve the staff’s knowledge of technology and enhance students learning with technology. As I continue to improve myself with technology information I will be a model for our program. We can move our students into the 21th
