Week 1 Activity 1- Reflections on Lifelong Learning
Q: which will be most challenging to employ?
A: using technology to my advantage will be the greatest challenge. I operate best with the "less is more" mantra and often get overwhelmed with the number of technology options and the reliability. Often times I do not have the knowledge to problem shoot or the time to identify reliable resources for myself and students to use as research tools within the classroom. I see technology as a collaborative tool and I hope to turn adversity into opportunity during this summer web seminar.
Q: which is easiest to employ?
A: given this learning 2.0 opportunity is during the summer I hope to use the extra time to play with various technology opportunities and remain patient with any obstacles I endure to make technology a positive teaching tool. Play with the blog, discover reliable resources, identify opportunities for collaboration within this course that can be implemented effectively in my classroom.
Q: which is most important to move through this course?
A: developing a toolbox is essential for success in this course and beyond. Developing a toolbox that is not unilateral, rather dimensional with many reliable links is essential.

I too get overwhelmed with all of the technology out there - both how to keep up with everything and how to implement in my classroom. I totally agree that I need to change my mindset and look to it as a tool (not as something totally scary) and make it something that I can embrace more in my practice.

It's great that you are taking this summer to learn some new tools. As the school year progresses, don't forget that you have resources to help you trouble-shoot and find credible resources. Utilize your tech team at DHS- Maureen,Marisa, Laurie, Brett.
ReplyDeleteI really agree with your post. I too put making a good toolbox will be the most important thing for me. We should be a part of each other's toolboxes! I also find putting technology into the classroom difficult because of time constraints and I too hope this class will help. My blog page is http://mybackus.blogspot.com/
