Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments
Reflection:
As new teachers going into the field of elementary education, it is very important that we know how use and manipulate technology. In order to be an adequate teacher, the first step would be to facilitate and inspire learning and creativity. It is important to do so because children need the support to grow as people and this way is how I feel students would be able to do so is through creativity.
Teachers should also create and encourage children to use real life situations as much as possible while teaching. It is important for children to know the reason why they’re learning. They should be able to understand what skills tie to what real life situation so that they do not feel like they’re wasting time in a classroom learning something that isn’t going to be needed in life.
Teachers should promote student learning and be able to encourage them to reflect using technology. It is important that teachers not only “just teach” but rather to encourage the students to understand that knowledge is important and can sometimes be fun too.

Future Goals:
Learning how to use these items in this class is been fun, but i have not yet had enough experience with it to know how to use it fully. when the time comes and i have my own classroom, I hope to use these items more and learn more about them as i go. I want to be able to incorporate these items into my classroom and have the children be more engaged and ready to learn.
I agree that teachers need to inspire creativity in students. I also agree that students need to know the reason they are learning and how what they are learning will connect to real life situations. Lastly, I agree that teachers should not "just teach" but encourage students.
ReplyDeleteI agree that teachers should create and encourage students to use real life situations as much as possible. I think it helps them learn the world around them. It is important for students to be able to apply what they learn even outside of the class.
ReplyDeleteI agree, teachers have to inspire their students because many of the students don't receive inspiration from anywhere other than school. I plan to make a website for my students as soon as I begin teaching.
ReplyDeleteI agree, teachers should create ways for students to use real life situations as much as possible, because it is always easier to learn and retain the information that way. Teachers should always be enthusiastic and encourage students to do their best, because students need to be interested in the material in order to learn.
