KSP619 - Semester Technology Goal Review

The below text is also available in an audio format. Click HERE to listen.

My Goal: 

Expand my technology toolbox and find creative ways to integrate technology into my lessons in a way that enhances my students learning.

Did you accomplish your goal? Why or why not?

Yes.  I accomplished my goal.  I have added so many tools to my tool belt this semester.  I have used these tools to create lessons that are meaningful and relevant to my students. I have examined my previous use of technology in my classroom and found that, on occasion, I was using technology simply for the sake of using technology.  It really served no purpose and didn't fulfill a well-defined objective.

That being said, I truly think that any experience with technology benefits my students by simply providing them with an intangible comfort level and curiosity.  If you lack this comfort and curiosity you will find yourself trapped behind a very large barrier to digital literacy.

What else do you feel you need to learn and/or understand to be a stronger instructional technology professional?

I would love more high-quality practical application examples. There is so much information and so many technology integration lesson plan ideas available but it takes so much time to find a truly great one.
