KSP619 - Technology Beliefs & Philosophy Revision

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

Technology Beliefs:

Do you view technology and technology integration any differently?
I wouldn't say I view technology integration differently.  I started out as a huge fan and I am still a huge fan.  I would say that I understand how to use a wider variety of technology tools in my classroom now.  The question I hear from colleagues the most, in relation to technology, is "how will I find the time?"  Well, I have found the time through this class.

Are you more confident in your abilities to use, implement and teach with technology?

I was pretty confident beforehand!  I love technology.  My previous career was in computer forensics and data management.  I taught a whole lot of technology to a whole lot of people while doing that.  I would say I am more excited than ever.  I have been working on my districts "Flexible Learning Cohort" this semester to create an anywhere/anytime, self-paced math curriculum that will be implemented next year. I have been told by the district tech person that I have "badass" technology skills. Yep, it is true. I do.

Have you seen any improvement in your technology skills?
I would say my repertoire is more extensive now. I was pretty digitally literate coming into this class.  Now I am just excited to spread the love at my school!

Philosophy Revision:

What changes or adjustments would you make to the document?

I reread my philosophy and I truly feel that it is still exactly what I want to say.  It expresses my beliefs quite thoroughly.

Why would you make those changes?

None.
