As I begin EDCI 336: Technology and Innovation in the classroom, it’s important for me to reflect on what I hope to gain from taking this course. When it comes to my future as a teacher I’m hoping to teach at a senior elementary level (Grades 4-6). Thinking back to when I was in these grades the technology experiences, I had were very miniscule. A majority of my school resources were physical supplies such as paper or poster boards. It was very rare that for assignments or projects I was directed to a technological tool. So overall I am one-hundred percent comfortable saying that I am inexperienced in using technology in the classroom. With the shift in curriculum and the technological advancements our society has been exposed to, more and more we are seeing an increased amount of technology being used as a way of learning. After completing EDCI 336 I am confident that I will be able to have an entire collection of technology knowledge that I can call upon to benefit my students’ learning. Over time, there has been a significant jump in young children having access to the internet so not only will I introduce technology as a teaching tool but I will also provide valuable information on how to use technology safely.
