“What I hope to get
out of this course”
The name of this course is Introduction to Technology in the Classroom. Frist I would like to mention how
technology has change since I was in elementary school and high school. The technology that my teachers used is
totally different from the technology that used in today’s classroom.
I remember my teachers used projectors for
mostly everything. There were projectors
to watch films, there were projectors for pictures slides and my favorite
projector was the one where the teachers will write with a marker on a plastic
film and it will project on the screen on the wall (that was our smartboard).
Now, as we are in the 21st Century technology in the
classroom has come a long way. From
laptops, smartboards, iPads, smartphones and apps.
What I hope to get from this
course is, besides learning how to use it, (very important aspect) I would like
to know how to incorporate to help my students.
My major is special education and I have two sons that are special
needs. I see how technology helps them
by it being accommodated and modified into their curriculum through their IEP’s. It amazes me how there is an app for
everything to make your life a little easier.
My son that has ADHD seems to better understand his academics with the
help of technology. His math teacher
encourages him to use this type of support throughout the school day.
I always been afraid of change
and thought that I would never need to use a computer let alone depend on
it. I had to face that it is here to
stay and I need to learn the change of times.
Not only for the sake of my two sons, but for my future profession.
