- Set two long-term goals (within two years) for transforming your classroom environment by which you may have to overcome institutional or systemic obstacles in order to achieve them. How do you plan to accomplish these goals?
- Refer to your checklist from Week 1. Have any of your answers changed after completing this course?
- GOAL 1: LACK OF FUNDING FOR TECHNOLOGY-Get funding to set-up my class with the right technology to enhance student learning and my teaching practices by researching grant opportunities. (I just found this link provided by a teacher of possible grants for technology http://www.teacherscount.org/teacher/grants.shtml#pdscitech) GOAL 2: TECHNOLOGY FOREIGNERS-I can share what I have learned with other teachers and how it can benefit them by sending them my blog link. I also am thinking about teaching a technology class in the community.
- In my teaching practices I feel that I have addressed the following often in my classroom:
self-reflection and self-examination of their own learning
-Provide students with multiple and varied opportunities for using technology
tools and resources to support the learning
-Provide students with opportunities for sharing and presenting information in
multiple ways, with a choice of medium (text, multi-media, graphics, etc.)
-Work to promote best practices in technology integration by researching,
evaluating, selecting and sharing new tools for classroom instruction
-Participate in developing a vision for technology integration and
communicate the reasons for using technology across curricular areas
-Promote the development of leadership and technology skills in my students
and colleagues
-Model appropriate integration practices by designing a technology-rich
classroom environment in which technology tools support student-centered
instructional practices
-Seek out other professionals, both at my school site and in the larger global
community, with whom I share best practices and build
