Final Reflection

As I look back at my "Personal Theory of Learning" that I developed in the beginning of this course, I have to say I would change anything. I sum up my theory by saying that all students learn differntly and there is no one way to teach. I think this couse and the strategies that I have learned go right along with my theory of learning. I will take bits and pieces of what I have learned and incopotrate them into my class and lessons when appropriate.

I definitly want to incorporate more technology into my class. I feel that I have learned about new tools and strategies that will effect my students in some really positive ways. Like I have mentioned, I am getting my Masters in Integrateing Technology in the Classroom because I know I have a lot to learn. This class has made me use tools and find programs I didn't know were out there. Two tools I would like to use with my students are voicethread and virtual fieldtrips. I think my students will really respond to these tools in a positive way.

My goals are going to be to incorporate technology as much as I can in my class and to become even more child centered. I think these will go hand in hand. I want the stduents to use tools that will allow them to tech each other. I think I can accomplish this because we are suppose to be getting new technology that will allow us to incoporate it so much more. I plan on becoming very knowledeable about the new tool and using in the more productive way.
