I have learned so much in this class. A lot about the vast amounts of resources that are available for students of all learning styles and abilities. Its about providing the most enriching learning experience you possibly can. And technology is a great way of providing many helpful options. It is extremely important that all resources are utilized in classrooms. But also as a teacher it can be overwhelming with updates and security issues. It does depend on the school that you work for, the funding, training given, support as a whole from all areas in the school system so that all state standards are met. When I become a teacher I will make sure to use all tools that have been learned and shared in this class. And also keep up to date on the continuous growth that the internet offers for classes. I believe that all of the discussions have aided in development and preparation for teaching in the 21st century.Everything from state and school standards, utilizing online tools for lesson planning, online instruction, safety, and more was a great way to prepare all of us for up to date for teaching properly. I believe that keeping up to date an keep communication open that all students and teachers will benefit greatly from using technology in the classroom.
