Beginning of Semester Reflection

Technology plays a very vital role in the world today. There are few things, if any, that cannot or are not currently done using technology. Just about everything uses technology in some way. Also, technology is becoming more and more advanced as the years go by and technology is becoming more of a necessity and it is harder for people to function without technology at hand.

I think as a teacher I need to be educated in the newest technology. I need to be aware of what my students are using and be able to relate to my students. The more educated I am in the current technology and any new technology coming out the better I can teach and make it relate to my students. Also, using new technology and not using the old school ways of little technology will help my students from getting bored and tuning out. As a teacher it may be necessary that I post items such as assignments and grades online and this would be much easier and less time consuming if I was well educated in technology.

As for the classroom and how technology should be used I am all for technology in the classroom! I think technology is becoming more and more advanced and if I have the opportunity to use it and get my students using it I would take advantage and do so. The younger the students are when they learn the technology that easier it is later in years and the better they learn it. If you know technology now, it is easier to learn as it gets more complicated and advanced. I think technology is very beneficial to students today and I believe it should be brought and incorporated in the classroom today.
