Q: Share how you will maintain life-long learning and exhibit leadership
regarding technology in the classroom? Describe how you will know you are
promoting and demonstrating effective use of the technology tools you are
utilizing?
A: I hope to maintain life-long learning through experiences and teaching practices that keep lessons meaningful, on task, but exciting and fun. I plan to help guide students in the right direction regarding technology in the classroom and help them to better understand it and use it to it's fullest potential in a positive and rewarding way. I will be available as a leader to the students to help answer questions, solve problems, or learn new things regarding technology.
I plan to use technology that I know and comfortable with before presenting it to my class. I want to send out a positive message about technology and the different types I hope to use. I want students to have confidence in me, as their leader, when using technology and be able to ask questions to understand what technology we are using.
It is important to always be the lighthouse "leader" for children when faced with new tasks such as technology. I agree that implementing lessons that are challenging, yet exciting and fun will benefit the use of technology in the long run.
