belief statement

Q :"What are your beliefs about learning and technology? Describe how technology has supported learning in classrooms you have observed?"

A: I believe technology is a great tool in the teaching and learning process. In my experience, technology computers and technology have helped to keep children engaged in what they are learning. It keeps the material fresh. Also, it helps to reinforce the skills you are teaching. If technology is used effectively, It will be an essential tool in the classroom.
I have not had a lot of experience observing children in formal classrooms. In the classrooms that I have observed, technology has been used to reinforce skills taught during lessons. Instructors have used computers in creative ways to keep the learning process going. Computers and technology have also been used in the formation of the lesson to introduce material in a new way. When you use technology to design a lesson in a new way you are able to present the material in a new way that makes the learning process more effective.

  1. Great job of communicating what you know even though you haven't had extensive experience. This is a developmental process in which you knowledge will build throughout the program.
