What is my personal philosophy on technology integration?
(Wordle created on www.wordle.net click on image to see enlarged version) My personal philosophy on technology integration focuses on the concept of remaining up-to-date in a rapidly changing world. As educators, I feel it is our duty to teach our students with the main goal of helping them learn to become successful, happy, and healthy adults who continue learning throughout their lives. We can do this specifically in regards to technology by:
setting the example of being cautiously and wisely adventurous in trying and practicing new and emerging technologies in various ways
being inclusive and in-tuned to our students needs, abilities, interests, prior knowledge, and prior experiences with technology
using technology for learning and making learning fun, not simply for entertainment (students will use and learn to use technology for entertainment on their own, and it's not our purpose to entertain soley)
