Computers are such a prominent part of our culture. Most students have grown up around technology. As more and more of our world begins to be dominated by computers, students need to know how to properly use a computer not only for classroom use but personal use as well. Since students will be using instructional software to work on different subjects, they will need to know how to navigate around on a computer. Instructional software provides another way of working with students when a teacher is not available at that moment.
As a teacher I hope to use computers not only in the classroom for personal research and writing assignments, but also as a way to inform students and parents of different homework assignments or events coming up. I hope to set up a class website similar to Blackboard where my students or parents can log in and check grades, due dates, syllabus, or my personal contact information. I hope to learn this semester exactly how I can set up a website for my students and parents.
I am very excited about learning new forms of technologies. I hope to receive different ideas from my fellow students on how I can make my classroom well-informed and up-to-date on the new technologies out there. I've already begun to steal some of the ideas mentioned in class to use for my own future classroom. My goal is to increase my quality as a teacher this semester.
