Major: Secondary Education, Social Studies
Technology skills:
My skills include Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Producer, Windows, Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Photoshop, Inspiration, digital still and video photography, scanning, organizing, various accounting programs, and assorted lettering programs. I'm a big fan and user of personal digital assistants such as the Palm Pilot, and a regular user of email and the Internet.
My technology examples:
How I plan on integrating technology into my teaching:
I want to use regularly use technology in my classroom, and I want my students to be both comfortable and familiar with its use. I plan on using technology to organize and manipulate all the information I need to access as a teacher: grade books, assignments, lesson plans, teaching ideas, personal journals, and class materials, for example. I plan on creating a class website where students can access assignments, look at other resources, and communicate with other classmates and myself. Parents will be able to access the website to look at what and how their child is doing, and will be able to conveniently communicate with me. I want to use technology in my classroom to promote student-parent-teacher interaction, and I want students to view the computer as a pressure-free way of asking questions. I want my students to explore their world, both locally and globally, and computers can help achieve this. Multimedia presentations will be used in my class and will be created by my students and myself. Students who are computer savvy will be able to enhance their skills in my class, and students with little or no experience on computers will be able to look to me for assistance in this area. Students will be able to seek homework assistance via computer, either by asking me directly or by looking at links and information I have provided. Students will have access to all digital material used in the class should they wish to review something or in the event they missed class. I want my students to see the computer as something more than just a place to play games and send email; by enhancing their computer skills I hope to prepare them for a technology-rich future. At the same time, I want my students to understand that the computer cannot replace human interaction; I plan on using technology to enhance, not replace, my teaching.
