My technology examples:
How I plan on integrating technology into my teaching:
I would like students to use personal computers not
only for studying at school but also for their lives
at home or anywhere. For example, they can use Microsoft
Excel for their money use, or collect information into
graphs and use Microsoft Word for writing essays,
or make leaflets, PowerPoint to give presentations,
Internet Explorer to research what they want to
know, like favorite singers, actors, actresses, news,
and hobbies to interest the classmates. They can talk
to a lot of people all over the world. Even students
have problems in their studies, lives, families, girlfriends, boyfriends; they may solve those problems
with the Internet. I will also teach about storing
pictures from digital cameras on personal computers.
Then, I would like students to make their own homepages
about their works. Each student will make very imaginative
pages, and each page will grow up with students. In
other words, students will keep studying about the
personal computers.
Finally, my faith to work as a great elementary teacher
is to teach how to live by themselves(students), specifically,
to help students find what are the most interesting things
to make money and enjoy their lives. I would like students
to notice that there are many chances around them and
grasp those by themselves and achieve their dreams. For
giving various chances to students, I need to know more
about the computers. It is very good equipment
for students
to broaden their world.
