Post #10

A lot of the topics from other classmates’ were very similar to what I researched. I appreciated the posts when it expressed the difficulties we might face as upcoming teachers. It is true that many children, especially the younger ones, might not appreciate technology as much as the older students. Many of the posts also included helpful websites that could possibly aid in the process of becoming a teacher.

I would really love to learn how to actually teach students how to use technology. This class offered a great insight to how teachers will use given technologies, but I’m nervous about how to actually teach the students how to use them. The 8 year-old mind is much different from my 19 year-old mind, so I would appreciate learning how to tap into that brainwave and help them understand how to use technology.

I do not see my future of educational technology being a difficult thing to achieve. If I do come across some issues, I will (hopefully) form a bond with my co-workers and ask them for help or advice. If the school does not have the programs I am looking to teach, I will look at my options in regards to school budget, and how much I could apply to the field.
