Thing 16

I love learning and have always attempted to create a stimulating learning environment for my students. I try to encourage creativity and show my students how what they are learning is relevant and important to their everyday lives. These videos reminded me of just how important technology is in the classroom....to foster creativity, to teach and to learn. It is important to give students a variety of options to express themselves, instead of relying on the easy paper/pencil methods. As technology becomes more accessible to students, I as a teacher, need to become more familiar with what technology could be used in the classroom. Technology is all around and is something students enjoy. Why not use it as a learning tool and engage students in the learning process, as well as prepare them for the future. These videos were a great reminder for me to utilize the technology I have and incorporate it into my lessons.
