TECHNOLOGY STATEMENT
The 21st century classroom needs to be adaptable and evolving. I feel that the student and teacher should learn from each other at all times. The role of the student and teacher are on the same level. With the fast pace that technology changes, it’s important that all in the classroom bounce ideas off of one another. This is also very possible with elementary students. One important point is that todays’ elementary students have been born into a technology infused world. This allows for even more fresh ideas being brought into the classroom. I truly feel that technology can easily be brought into the classroom. My philosophy for technology integration is the idea that I will constantly be looking for new ways to help convey what I’m trying to teach using various technologies. I know that it is possible to include technology and I won’t be afraid to explore new pieces of technology in order to make my lessons even more connectable and clear. I hope to constantly incorporate technology into my classroom in a fluid manner with clear thought. I know I will at least run into one problem during my technology infused adventure but I know I will grow over time with the technology. I can’t wait to see what my 21st century classroom will occur with my current technology integrated philosophy. I have goals of trying my hardest to understand technology and how it can work with various aspects of my classroom. I hope I can help my young students become more comfortable with technology if they are not already. I can’t wait to learn from my students and see what new technology can do over time. I know that projects can become even more enriched and I can’t wait to see what my students accomplish in my future technology infused classroom.
