For my first year of teaching I would love to accomplish all of these goals:
1. Apply some sort of technology to the students every day school experience, whether it be posting on a social network, checking person emails for homework assignments, or in class activities.
2. Use technology based resources to collect and analyze date, interpret student work and results, communicate with my students, and maximize students learning with technology.
3. Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay up to date with current and emerging technologies.
4. Get to know my students on a personal level, never have a high affective filter in my classroom, and make students enjoy the subject at hand.
5. Learn from my teaching mistakes. As a first year teacher I am most certain that I will mess up, but I would love to take notes from my teachings and finding and learn something new each day.
6. Design developmentally appropriate learning opportunities through every which way that I possibly can. Whether it be technology-enhanced instructional strategies, or games to excite learning.
Amanda, I liked all of your goals, but I really like number five - Learn from my teaching mistakes. As a first year teacher I am most certain that I will mess up, but I would love to take notes from my teachings and finding and learn something new each day.
ReplyDeleteI hope to learn from my teaching mistakes and to improve upon them as I learn better techniques.
Hi Amanda, like Jenn, I loved that you acknowledged the fact that you will make mistakes, but that you will use them to learn and continually better yourself. That is a great goal! I also liked that you mentioned designing developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for your students. Both of these goals are great, not only for technology, but for all areas of the curriculum!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful goals Amanda! I really like the way you stated them, basically this is what I want my classroom to look like. A few of your goals are directly related to your students...awesome.
