My beliefs about technology and learning!
As I approached this class I assumed I would be working more with computers and smartboards. I had this false sense of knowing for two reasons. One my high school had those laptops and smartboards so I assumed that is where technology in the class stopped. Two, I didn't read the class description which I am sure shed more light into this class. Now that I am in this class I find that we are to use blogs and twitter to enhance my education. I personally have one blog already but, I use that as a way to anonimouisly berate politicians and until this point have refused to even consider using Twitter. So I approach these ideas with optimistic caution. I had one teacher who tried to use a blog in my high school English class, he failed miserably. To his credit he tried and for the first month he did very well but, we as a class could not grasp the idea of it. So with a mask of confidence I will leap into the ocean of ideas that this class offers. Though I truthfully would rather wade in wearing water wings.

I didnt really get anything along the lines of your beliefs on technology as a part of learning for others. I only really got your opinions as technology plays into this class.
ReplyDeleteI feel you are one of my only reads that has put feeling and personal fears into their post. Thought i would to see some other thoughts on how the tech would affect teaching.
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased that you could sense my feelings and fears. That is exactly waht I was going for! Thanks!
DeleteI like your vocabulary in this blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen teachers try to use technology that is beyond their understanding, it can definitely be a huge distraction for the students. Every instructor should always make sure they know what they're doing before they do it in front of their class!
