End of Semester Blog

After being in this class every Tuesday night of the week I realize how significant technology plays in education and it is a key component in every classroom and hopefully one day in physical education. By the time I have a classroom of my own someday I think technology will be completely different then what it is right now but now I feel like I am prepared for everything that technology is going to throw towards me. It will take some time of mine to integrate technology well in my classroom but learning along the way will benefit my students in the long run. Although this class has not taught me everything there is to know about technology because technology changes every year, but I do believe that this class has made me more proficient in using technology.
When looking at the NETS I realized that there are areas with technology that I have benefited in this year.  I disagree that older teachers do not use technology in their classroom, but now I see how important it is in student learning because of their culture. I feel like I have grown the most in NETS 2 for teachers, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, I have used blogging to help me become more familiar with this process. The blogs that I created have shown me how I can use technology to stay in contact with students and their parents/guardians. After this class I now feel like I will be able to use technology to create a  better opportunity for my students to learn.

Reflection 12

Today I witnessed how technology is so important today in education.  I was working on some homework this afternoon and my computer crashed.  My computer is what I needed to complete my assignments, so that I could receive credit for my class.  But thankfully it rebooted it self and fixed it with my antivirus software.  Technology is so important in today's education that we cannot always rely on it, but what we do know is that it is fixable. 

Reflection 11

It always makes me wonder where technology will be in the next decade as it changes all the time.  But there is one thing that won't change and it is the younger generations will always have an advantage in learning and problem solving technical difficulties faster than our generation.  The other day I was with my cooperating teacher and after class the teacher asked one her students if he could help change some setting on her phone.  It didn't surprise me that this student figured it out less than no time.  What technology has created is students that are outstanding problem solvers and critical thinkers.

Reflection 10

Once again the semester is coming to an end and I am noticing the use of technology in the classroom and outside the classroom easier than I used too because of this class.  I notice that having the privileged of having an online database like Discovery has help me tremendously with knowing my grades in a class.  It helps me with being better prepared with knowing my grade after completing an assignment that week.  By taking advantage of this technology it has also better prepared me to get feedback immediately on an assignment and what I can improve on. 

Reflection 9

Last Friday I made a trip to the outlet stores and visited the Nike store for one specific reason.  I was looking for these special shoes that would calculate the number steps you take when running and then calculate the calories you would burn.  I thought this is a great way for students to get involved in fitness and the advanced technology that Nike has created we can benefit of encouraging a healthy life.  Anyway that technology can help improve or motivate students to create an interest in health is always a number one seller in my mind.
