Role of technology

Role of technology, when I look down the road to when I am a teacher in a school I would like to use the Blogging for the class room. This will be away for student and teachers to communicate with each other; this can be a learning center as well as if you need help or advice. With a blogging you can expand the mind of children on how to be able to communicate with other students and teachers without having to do it in person or wait till the next day to be able to ask question. Teachers can use blogging to see what the kids are learning from the class, as well as seeing if they need to change the lesson plan. Just think blogging can be our new way of doing an assessment on our students.

Classroom organization

 Classroom organization, for my class room when I do multiple small groups I will make sure that I would have all ready done Assessments on all the students that way I can make sure that I don’t put all advance students in the same group. I think you should mix them up have some advance students, on grade level, and below grade, this way they can help each other learn and gain a better understanding as well as a new type of learning experience. When you put them into large groups you want to make sure they are separate them the same way you do with small groups. The only thing is I think when students are put in big groups they don’t attend to get much from it and they end up dividing themselves again, I know from personal experience. When you split people up in groups they each get their own individual role that they are responsible for the can ask for help if needed.

Goals for learning

Goals for learning, in my opinion I believe every teacher should have a goal for their students as well for themselves. When you start your goals you should think about what you goals you are going to set for your students,  like we will introduce the class blog and have each student at the end of the week put in their what they have learned form that week.  Also you don’t want to make their goals more then what they can handle. So you might want to do an assessment on them before you set goals that cannot be made. Once that is done then you can begin setting goals for yourself like my goal is to learn how to blog, and to become a better blogger. Also to get this wiki site down pack so I can understand it and be able to set one up myself, and the same goes for the blog.

A teacher’s role

A teacher’s role in my opinion is someone that has to be opened minded to everything that can be used in the teaching process like Technology. Blogs can be used to share and give information with fellow teachers or with students that you are teaching. This year when I started this class I have never heard of blogging and I was having so much trouble figuring it out that it was getting to be very frustrating to me. I was at the point of giving up because I was so far behind, and if it wasn’t for our teacher giving me encouragement I would dropped the class. So being a teacher you have to be very encouraging, helpful, and you sometimes have to push some students to learn. As a role of a teacher you are a guide, a friend, and a role model you don’t give up you try harder to expand the minds of your students to learn new ways using technology.
