21 April - My Beliefs

I strongly believe that technology is a vital part of education and that we as teachers need to do our best to make sure that we are exposing our students to it and also teaching them how to use it. In a world that is based in technolgy, it is imperative for students to be knowledgeable about it and be able to use it. For our students to be successful as adults, they need to be able to be efficient and able to use technology. It has been a while since I have graduated from high school and alot of my friends still do not use technology. It has put them behind and it is more difficult for them to learn it now than it would have been when they were younger.

I believe that we have a responsibility as teachers to use all of the resources out there to give our students the best and most recent information. This can be done very easily through technology. Using technology offers so many benefits and opportunities for students and it would be a shame for us to take that away from them.

I am grateful for the many things that I have learned in these 2 technology classes that I have taken at UVU. They have given me the tools that I need to be succesful at integrating technology into my classroom. I am so excited to be a teacher and I can't wait until I finally have my own classroom.
