I believe there is a place for technology in the classroom. After doing this assignment and being in this class, I have learned a lot of information that has proven to me of the importance technology has. So many students already have a wide knowledge of technology and use it on a daily basis. This is something the students use and are very comfortable with. As a teacher, one of my goals is to be able to use this to my advantage. If the students already have a knowledge of technology, using it to teach and research can help them enjoy lessons more. There are so many valuable resources on the Internet that should be used. As a teacher, knowing that technology is only advancing more and more, and the knowledge and use of it will be used in many careers, I should help in the teaching and learing of this information. Many jobs that are in high demand today, are technology jobs. If students and teachers both realize this, then the outcome of learning in the classroom can be very positive.
Another goal I have will be to use the internet very often to find the core curriculum, lesson plans, and other helpful resources. I will be a history teacher and the Internet offers a lot of great primary sources that would be helpful in teaching. Also, when students need to do research papers, the Internet can be a great resource for them to use. I can teach them this and they can find so much useful information online that can help them. I know there are not computers in all of high school classes, but hopefully one day there will be at least a few in classes across the country, allowing students to take full advantage of the things they offer.
