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.
Denisha, I really like that you want to start teaching in a smaller school system before moving up to a larger one like Indianapolis. I also would like to start in a smaller elementary class as well. I would not like to teach in a large school district like Indianapolis, but beggars cannot be choosers. I would like to stay in my slightly large community of Columbus, IN. I am interested in what types of techniques would you like to incorporate in your class. I know in EdTec 350 we learned a lot of new methods of incorporating technology in our class. With this class now we can incorporate what we know about policy and how it is implemented.

Hi friend!!
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering, why do you want to start in a smaller school system? I'm curious because I'm the complete opposite, I want to start off in a BIG school with lots of resources :)
How do you want technology in your classroom? I mean are you going cell phones? Will you have a facebook group? or a class twitter?
