My first day of tech class!
With both eyes open, I have leapt into the world of technology and technological innovation in the classroom. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with what I am learning in class. Prior to today I never considered myself a highly technological person. With this being said, in the span of three hours I have created a Google account, Twitter account and learned how to create a blog.
The part I have enjoyed most of all during today's class was learning about the concept and practice of Genius Hour in the classroom. The reason why I have chosen to attend Teachers College is because I want to learn how to be a teacher who can help children find their passions and happiness in life. I believe that education extends far beyond a textbook or classroom. I also believe that as educators, it is our role to help facilitate the process of teaching a child how to find intrinsic motivation and to develop a passion for learning.
I'm also interested in learning innovative technology that I can utilize in the classroom. Through this class, I know that I will be able to implement lessons using technology and programs that will make my lessons multifaceted and engaging for learners.
Check out this awesome video about Genius Hour and how it works.
Cheers!
Ashley
