My Beliefs

As for my beliefs in technology in the classroom, I think it is necessary. Many students are using google to ask all of their questions. When they discover new things, most of the time it is from online. How can I not use technology in my classroom when my students spend more than half of their day on it. Technology is taking over generations faster then we can teach. As teachers, we can't be teaching using old techniques. We need to stay up to date on everything we are doing, with our curriculum and with our teaching methods. We can't be successful in the classroom if we are not using technology.

We are truly blessed as teachers having all this technology to benefit our classrooms. However, if we are not using it then what is the point of advancing it. As teachers, we truly just need to get up and try the many new technologies. Having professors that I can get a hold of at anytime of the day is so great. I want to be that available for my students. I want to be able to e-mail them back in a second, since I have an I-Phone that can do that and I know how to work it. I want to be there for my students and the best way is through technology. Plus, there is so much information on the Internet that can teach health just as much as I can. I can teach students how to learn on the Internet and research. The Internet is going to make our students more successful if they know how to use it properly. That is why I know that I will use it in my classroom.
