Assignment 6: Personal technology project: How do you want to improve, develop, and/or grow in the area of incorporating technology usage for your subject area? Remember to choose technologies for your project based on these criteria:
What part of your teaching would you most like to improve through technology?
Teaching through presentation
Teaching through media creating
Teaching through content exploration
Teaching through enhanced collaboration and communication
Teaching through assessment
Consider the following:
Pick technologies you don’t already know. This is your education, make the most of it! You will not always have the structure and support of a class to help you, so make the most of this opportunity!
Pick technologies that you think will be helpful for your teaching.
WHAT TECHNOLOGIES WILL HELP ME IN MY TEACHING?
If you aren’t sure which technologies will be most helpful to you as a teacher, here are some ideas.
Ask K-12 teachers that you know
Look on the internet for ideas from other teachers. There are many great educational blogs dedicated to each subject area. These are a few ideas to get you started.
