Week 8 Reflection

During the final course of our Master’s degree through Walden University, I learned a lot of useful information, which will allow me to start the upcoming school year with a technology-driven mindset. After writing the information for a grant for flip cameras, I plan to develop additional grants over the summer. I feel that it is so important to provide our students with as much access to technology as possible. The technology will continue to develop, and if the students are exposed to it at an early age, they will be able to pick up on the new and emerging technologies as they progress through their schooling and adult lives. As teachers, one of our goals is to produce life-long learners. Technology is an essential piece of learning, especially in the 21st century.

Throughout all of the courses we have taken, I see a pattern with the use of technology. As we use and learn one form of technology, other technological resources can be used to enhance one another. They just keep building and building, which in turn encourages our students to enhance their learning in a meaningful way that builds upon their strengths and interests.

Over the summer, I plan to research and experiment with all of the resources we discussed throughout our Walden courses. I am very intrigued to check out MUVE’s and apply them to the content I will be teaching next year. I also plan to develop numerous lessons to address the content and technology standards, allowing students to use various resources to demonstrate their knowledge.
