Hi everyone! I am Denisha. I am studying elementary education. I have a concentration area in psychology and a minor in interpersonal relations. I am uncertain about when I will student teach and graduate (hopefully Spring 2014). I want to teach any grade from kindergarten-third grade when I become a future elementary teacher. I would enjoy teaching in a small school in a small town. Eventually, I want to move to Indianapolis where I can teach at a larger school. I want to have plenty of experience at a small school before moving to a larger school.
I want to teach about all the basic fundamentals of education and all the different subjects to my future students. I will teach Arithmetic, English, Reading, and Social Studies. I will be excited about teaching English and incorporating technology in my classroom. I believe technology is an important part of teaching and learning for a number of reasons. Students can get a more hands-on and interactive approach when technology is utilized in the classroom. Students can have fun and try something new rather than using paper and pencil.
I am enrolled in Edtec 470 to increase my knowledge about how technology can be used in the classroom. I was previously enrolled in Edtec 350. I gained a variety of techniques and ideas about how I can incorporate technology with my lessons in my future classroom. I am hoping that I can learn more in this class this semester. I enjoy technology as a student. I want my students to enjoy technology as well.
Some major goals I want to accomplish in this class are:
I want to learn more about technology and how I can apply it in my future classroom. I want to create more projects in Edtec 470 like I did in Edtec 350. I want to have a better understanding of the policies of educational technology. Lastly, I want to develop my own personal outlook on technology ethics. I simply want to maintain my growth as a future educator and how I can make technology beneficial for my students in my future classroom.
