My primary role as a teacher is to provide a role model for students. I will do this by learning the latest software and computer skills and using them in my classroom, teaching the children what I have learned. By knowing the technology, I will teach the children how to organize their files and use the computer software to help them learn to create their own data sheets, word documents, blogs, web pages, etc. I will also learn to utilize student-centered teaching strategies.
I think the goal of learning for my students should be to become good learners. Of course I will teach them the basic facts of the curriculum, but I really want them to "learn to learn" so they will be able to educate themselves later in life. If the become good learners today, they can teach tomorrow.
In my classroom, I will blend whole-group activities, small group activities, and individual work. I see technology becoming more important every year. It will impact what size learning groups I may have too teach. I will use technology to help reach more of my students unique and different ways.
