take place in each lesson. Students should be able to be engaged in the learning process
as they come in to my classroom each day. And the amazing thing is, when used
effectively, technology can help students to achieve all of the areas mentioned. My
understanding of technology will help to open new possibilities in the classroom as I
work to create a classroom environment where students can use technologies to their
support them in the learning process.
Taking part in APUs Digital Teaching and Learning Masters of Ed program has
helped to prepare me to effectively integrate technology into my classroom. I have
gained a better understanding of the existing ed tech tools available and Ive gained
insights on how to successfully use these technologies. Ive also had the opportunity to
build my professional learning network as I connected with others involved in ed tech
through Twitter and Google+. During my time in this program, Ive also gained
confidence in my ability to access and integrate technology in my lessons. As a teacher, I
hope to pass this confidence on to my students as I provide them with opportunities to
develop and learn how be successful, digitally literate citizens.
