My goal is to finish the OLTD program and then implement, the relevant and applicable portions, into my current teaching practices. I currently teach Science in a face to face environment and I would like to increase engagement in my classes by using technology. I hope, that at the end of my studies, that my style of teaching will include more meaningful lessons with the aid of technology.
For one of our weekly discussion groups, we were asked to comment on a video clip called “Imagine if I were your son”. The general message of the video was that students today want to use technology in different forms for their daily work at school. I thought this goal might be a lofty one given the cost and difficulty to access technology for all social groups. Nevertheless, I thought that the message could be achieved on a small scale.
I hope that by the end of the program, I will be able to integrate technology into my lesson and give more options to my students. I feel that the goal is to use the technology available to us in the most effective way. As the school years advance, I am aware that I am getting a different type of student who has been exposed technology that wasn’t even imagined twenty years ago. I’m hoping to be better equipped to meet the needs of these new types of learners.
