Reflection+Module+4

Reflect on your thinking surrounding your developing a philosophy of Instructional Technology use for learning and your understanding of 21st Century Teaching and Learning
 * Reflection Prompt:**

Description: When I first started teaching I had a philosphy of education. I thought of strategies that were important to me and tried to implement them into my philosophy. I remembered back to when I was in school and how technology engaged me so I wanted to have technology in my classroom.

Impact: I have realized that technology is more than just engaging the students. Technology makes boundaries/ceilings limitless. If technology is used the right way students do not have to always rely on the teacher or text book for an answer. They can find the answer themselves.

Intent: I will use technology to engage the students but also use it as a tool to extend the learning. I will start having questions on projects that force students to look for answers using technology. When I am looking back at my philosophy of educatuion from six years ago I laugh. I will redo my philosophy to show how my thoughts on education have changed.
