My Beliefs

My beliefs about technology in the classroom is one of cooperation. I want to see my class, my school, my district integrate technology. The reason for this is that it gets the kids excited because it connects with their world. I think the more connections you can make the better the instruction.

Ideally I would like to have a chance to show my students that all things in the world have more that one subject tied to them. If You take sports for instance, there is science, math, chemistry, writing, social studies, and economics in just sports. I would like to show the kids that. If I could introduce ways for students to use technology to discover that that would be ideal.

I believe that a teacher has to be very knowledgeable about the subject he or she teaches. If you can't answer follow up questions from students, the learning, and questions slowly go away. I like the idea to find information, and share it with a class that asked a follow-up question. These kids know how to use technology, why now put it into their hands and let them run.
