My Beliefs

My Beliefs

I am not going to lie, technology scares me. I found it very intimidating that students will know more about the technology that I am using than I will ever know. I find it hard to know how to teach technology when I know very little about it. I have a fear that I will get up in front of my class and present an assignment to the students with technology enriched in the lesson and a student will ask me a question and I will not know the answer. Technology in classroom can be a good thing and make things so much easier, but with all the technology come the possibility of not working. I find that whenever I want to use technology something breaks or something goes wrong and then I have to start all over, but that is just life.

I want to use technology in my class because without technology my students are not getting the full benefits of learning. I think it would be virtually impossible to teach without using technology. I just have to swallow my fear and learn as much as possible about technology as I can.
