As this course comes to an end, I hope to continue to learn more technology-related skills that I can utilize in my future classroom. Some types of technology skills I hope to learn more about include more interactive ways of teaching, innovative ways to use a SmartBoard for teaching, and different ways of organizing class information, lessons, and resources for my students online. I believe all of these skills will not only help me grow in experience as a teacher in our technology filled world, but it will also help me to better educate my students and allow them to gain knowledge on how to use technology in a productive way. I plan on achieving this by doing my own research and continuing to observe classrooms that utilize technology daily. I believe I think best when I am able to observe something in front of me and interact hands-on, so continuing to observe different classrooms will be the best way for me to learn more technology-related skills.

I think all the skills you mentioned are great ideas of things to learn as a future educator! I definitely want to learn how to utilize a SmartBoard effectively as well. I agree that visuals and hands-on interaction are a great way to learn, which is why I enjoy classroom observation so much. I really loved your blog overall and enjoyed reading all of your posts!
ReplyDeleteSmartboards are awesome and underrated! I wish every classroom had one, I remember getting so excited to use them as a kid in class. I think it's really cool that you want to do your own research to create an optimal learning environment for your students!
ReplyDeleteAll these skills in this class are really beneficial for future educators. Smartboards are great to use in the classroom. I know I loved using them when I was little and I believe teachers should keep using them in their classrooms. It is a great interactive way for students to want to learn since it hands on learning.
