My Philosophy Statement
I am going into the field of education because I would like to share my knowledge with others and help to shape the minds of the future of America. Most importantly love working with children, which without would give me no drive and motivation to work in this field. I believe that everyone has a right to a good education because it prepares a student to learn and use their minds. He/she should gain a full understanding of what is being taught and be able to apply it to their everyday lives. All students learn at different paces, some children may not be learning as fast or understanding as much as the other students but they have just as much potential however may need an extra push to get to the same level. Technology may be a basis in which teachers today can use to get all of their students learning to their fullest potential.
I believe that technology plays a very important role in the classroom as our society has an ever changing base in technology. Without technology use in the classroom our students would not be equipped with the knowledge for uses of technology in the everyday world. By having technology in the classroom we are essentially giving our students the stepping stone to grow and develop their understanding of the uses of technology so they may better use it when in an out of school environment may it be work or leisure.
I feel that it is important to incorporate technology into the classroom. Technology makes the classroom have a more inviting atmosphere, as children are growing up using technologies incorporating them into your daily assignments will engage and interest your students. Technology also helps to differentiate your instruction to incorporate all learning styles for example using a video would engage visual and auditory learners.
In my classroom I would integrate technology into as many aspects of my lessons as possible. I feel that children today would respond well to this as they are constantly bombarded with technology in the home so by bringing it into the classroom students may become more engaged in the lessons. Some forms of technology that I would choose to use mainly revolve around the use of the computer including but not limited to computer games, videos, power points, and the internet to name a few.
My goal when incorporating technology in the classroom is to make sure that my students are having fun while gaining a full understanding of the material in which I present them with. Technology will hopefully push all of my students to reach their fullest potential!
